Eureka Entertainment to release DAS CABINET DES DR CALIGARI, Robert Weine's sinister tale of psychosis and murder, set in a warped Gothic landscape, in a Limited Edition 2-disc Blu-ray SteelBook featuring the 2014 documentary From Caligari to Hitler as part of the Masters of Cinema Series on 16 January 2017. One of the most iconic masterpieces in cinema history, Robert Wiene's Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari shook filmgoers worldwide and changed the direction of the art form. Now presented in a definitive restoration, the film's chilling, radically expressionist vision... is set to grip viewers again. At a local carnival in a small German town, hypnotist Dr. Caligari presents the somnambulist Cesare, who can purportedly predict the future of curious fairgoers. But at night, the doctor wakes Cesare from his sleep to enact his evil bidding... Incalculably influential, the film's nightmarishly jagged sets, sinister atmospheric and psychological emphasis left an immediate impact in its wake (horror, film noir, and gothic cinema would all be shaped directly by it). But this diabolical tale nevertheless stands alone - now more mesmerising than ever in this Blu-ray SteelBook edition, along with a bonus Blu-ray disc containing the 2014 documentary From Caligari to Hitler, exploring the social and cultural impact of German Cinema during the Weimar Republic.

Silent German horror directed by Robert Wiene. When a young man is mysteriously murdered after being told by a somnambulist at Dr Caligari (Werner Krauss)'s side show that he won't live out the night, his friend Francis (Friedrich Feher) is determined to find out the truth behind what happened. With help from his fiancée Jane (Lil Dagover), Francis soon discovers that Dr Caligari is actually the director of a local insane asylum and is using a deranged patient to pose as his somnambulist in order to commit a series of grisly murders. Springing into action, Francis must put a stop to Dr Caligari's evil scheme before he can claim anymore victims.
