Dr. Caligari

Dr. Caligari (1989) elicits a strong blend of emotions typical for its unique genre mix. The film's 'Comedy' aspect primarily generates Humor, often dark or absurd, alongside general Joy and Happiness. The 'Horror' and 'Sci-Fi' elements, particularly the controversial electroshock and hypothalamus experiments, are the main drivers of Disturbing feelings, Anxiety, and Fear. The surreal and bizarre nature of the plot, with characters losing touch with reality, contributes significantly to Confusion and Curiosity, as the audience tries to decipher the unfolding madness. Surprise also plays a role due to the unpredictable and grotesque events.
