On Friday the 13th we celebrate the 100th anniversary of this classic silent horror film…

Caligari tells the tale of the eponymous doctor and his somnambulist sidekick, Cesare. Cesare can predict the future: most importantly the time of death of anyone who asks. Even though Cesare predicts it, a couple investigate the mysterious death of their friend, and so they find out the true identity of the doctor.
