"Watched this is my film class and it’s so interesting! It has a Tim Burton and Dr. Seuss vibe to it! Also the twist at the end is really good and brings everything together! #films #classicfilms "

"Story is fantastic and the twist at the end is perfection. The set design is gorgeous and adds such an extra degree of quiet malice as if the sets are trying to twist the characters as well. Conrad Veidt is both terrifying and sympathetic as Cesare. I could go on forever about how awesome this movie is. "

"This is a silent film from 1920, and I think it's amazing! The imagery was shadowy and slightly menacing as it should be for a horror thriller. I can imagine people in 1920 being disturbed by it."

"The classic of classics-esp in the realm of horror. Any horror fan should absolutely watch this movie! Words can't describe how much appreciation I have for this film. It is the peak of German expressionism...absolutely beautiful!!!! Give this film a watch and you'll find yourself in a different world..."

"One word: aesthetic. This film has bags of it, and as unnatural and unfamiliar as it is, it is beautiful, not to mention amazing to see the actors interact with scenery and props in such strange shapes. It gives the whole a very...extra-to-reality quality."

"Excellent example of German expressionism during the Weimar period"
