The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) 7/10
Was browsing RottenTomatoes for some horror movies the other day, and I stumbled across this. It got a whopping 100% (and RT critics are usually very picky).
So I thought, the movie can't be bad right? Gotta give this a try if it got a perfect score.
When I use rotten tomatoes, and dont get me wrong its a great site, I look at the score below the percentage rating (in the case of 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' 8.9/10).
The only problem with the tomatometer is that you can only basically vote for a movie two ways, you either liked it, or you didnt, theres no variation. So a movie could still get 100%, even though every critic just gave it 6/10. The percentage is more along the lines of 'how many people out of 100% liked the movie enough to pass it' rather than perfection.
ANYWAY enough about that, you had me inspired so I too watched 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari'. Interesting visuals,
7/10 is agreed with.
