'The Cabinet of Dr Caligari' (1920) Movie Reaction and Commentary - The Iconic German Horror Classic

Not my first time watching this classic of horror cinema, but my first time in a while. An insane hypnotist, a helpless sleepwalker, a series of horrific murders - this film delivers on the horror front, but is it also a haunting allegory on the psychological horrors of war?
Visually stunning, visionary and truly nightmarish, "Caligari" remains a hugely influential horror film over 100 years after its release.
