I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

If you you want full-on vaginal stimulation, and complete disregard for men and the male species,this is a must for anybody. Put your Bikini kill, Red Aunts, and L7 on hold,strip down to your panties, grab your baby oil and pop this video into your VCR. Dr. caligari has great dialog, can start a riot in any grrrl spouse or husband. Guess what? A woman can't be satisfied by her husband, and her husband really tried, but I guess she could stay off the wiener wagon, so he sends her off to an insane asylum. Someone had the sense to play this at "A Nightclub" in Minneapolis,brings out the best in a 1980's art film, compliments on culture,and integrity of the human race. I'll make it twist like a rubberband until it snaps.

I absolutely love this movie. It has so many different levels to appreciate. Besides the main twisted storyline that should make any cult movie lover wriggle, there is an interesting use of colors in the film (bright pinks, neon yellows, etc) that reminds me of the Dick Tracy movie. It is also just full of catty one-liners that my friends and I use all the time (i.e., "I know what it's like when a girl needs her prescription filled." and "Ms. Koombs is less aware than the chair that you're squirming in now."). With the strong sexual themes and partial female nudity, I often refer to it as an "art film". I have watched this movie over thirty times, and I still find new symbolism and hidden meanings when I view it each time.I feel that this movie would especially appeal to fans of the John Waters films (Pink Flamingos, Female Troubles, Desperate Living, etc), but if you're offended by sexual discussions involving drag queens and lesbians, this is NOT the movie for you.

Stephen Sayadian's (AKA: Rinse Dream)tribute to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari tops the great style of Cafe Flesh and Night Dreams. A must see for fans of German Expressionism, New Wave (music & sets not film style, Adult humor, Sci-fi, Psychedelic cinema, Cult films and Black Comedy. The plot takes us to a cold, bleak future where the great grand daughter of the original Dr. Caligari is performing psycho-sexual experiments on mentally ill people. Her final "creation" is to switch the personalities of a serial killer cannibal and a nympho housewife, to great results!!! Dialog is delivered in an over the top, mock "arty" way. Characters pose and swish in stiff robotic style and deliver over the top, mock "arty" dialog without missing a beat of this well staged masterpiece. Not for everyone, only for the truly DEVO.

please, if you are thinking about seeing this movie, do yourself a favor and don't waste your time and money! this is one of the worst films i've ever seen and not in a good way at all. there is nothing funny or enjoyable or moving or even interesting. this film is a pretentious piece of b movie schlock posing itself as an artistic film. hideously failed effort.
