"One of the most iconic masterpieces in cinema history, Robert Wiene’s Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari shook filmgoers worldwide and changed the direction of the art form. Now presented in a definitive UHD edition, the film’s chilling, radically expressionist vision is set to grip viewers again.

At a local carnival in a small German town, hypnotist Dr. Caligari presents the somnambulist Cesare, who can purportedly predict the future of curious fairgoers. But at night, the doctor wakes Cesare from his sleep to enact his evil bidding…

Incalculably influential, the film’s nightmarishly jagged sets, sinister atmospheric and psychological emphasis left an immediate impact in its wake (horror, film noir, and gothic cinema would all be shaped directly by it). But this diabolical tale nevertheless stands alone – now more mesmerising than ever in its UK debut on Ultra HD Blu-ray."

I like The Cabinet of Dr Caligari and think it's a masterpiece. However, I don't like it enough to spend £30 on a 4K Ultra HD upgrade as I'm currently more than happy with the Masters of Cinema Blu-ray I have.

That's the sort of thing i do. Oh i know a relation who'd probably like to give me that, something i really want instead of a generic Christmas gift. Then hope they agreed once i'd ordered it.
