The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a 2005 independent film, and a "talkie" remake of the 1919 film of the same name. It was directed by David Lee Fisher and released in the USA at the ScreamFest Film Festival on October 22, where it won three prizes - the Audience Choice Award, Best Cinematography and Best Special Effects.

Plot

Similar to that of the original film.

Background

The film was entirely filmed in front of a green screen and tried to recapture the look of the original - several shots from the original were superimposed behind the actors to exactly replicate some scenes.
