That movie was The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, a plunge into the mind of insanity that severs all ties with the rational world. Director Robert Wiene and a team of visionary designers crafted a nightmare realm in which light, shadow and substance are abstracted, a world in which a demented doctor and a carnival sleepwalker perpetrate a series of ghastly murders in a small community. This authoritative edition presents the F. W. Murnau Stiftung’s meticulous 4K restoration of the film, with a new orchestral score by Emmy®-winning composer Jeff Beal (House of Cards), which had its premiere performance at Carnegie Hall on June 3, 2024.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the manufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDIRECTED BY ROBERT WIENE PHOTOGRAPHED BY WILLY HAMEISTER\u003cbr\u003eWRITTEN BY CARL MAYER AND HANS JANOWITZ\u003cbr\u003eART DIRECTION HERMANN WARM, WALTER REIMANN AND WALTER RÖHRIG\u003cbr\u003eWITH CONRAD VEIDT, WERNER KRAUSS, LIL DAGOVER, FRIEDRICH FEHÉR\u003cbr\u003eRESTORATION FRIEDRICH-WILHELM-MURNAU-STIFTUNG, WIESBADEN\u003cbr\u003ePROMOTION BERTELSMANN SE \u0026amp; CO.L KGAA; VGF COLLECTING SOCIETY FOR RIGHTS TO USE FILM WORKS MBH; THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSIONER FOR CULTURE AND THE MEDIA\u003cbr\u003eMATERIALS BUNDESARCHIV-FILMARCHIV, BERLIN; DEUTSCHE KINEMATHEK, BERLIN; FILMMUSEUM DÜSSELDORF; ARCHIVO NACIONAL DE LA IMAGEN - SODRE, MONTEVIDEO; BRITISH FILM INSTITUTE, LONDON\u003cbr\u003eSCAN AND DIGITAL RESTORATION L`IMMAGINE RITROVATA, BOLOGNA\u003cbr\u003eMUSIC PRODUCTION STUDIO FOR FILM MUSIC AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MUSIC, FREIBURG I.

The government rarely let classic horror films pass without severe cuts when they were released on home video. To combat this unfortunate situation, many German horror fans scraped together a few bucks, rented video cameras and created their own ultra-violent, gory, splatter film epics. Arguably the most famous of these micro-budget German gorefests are the VIOLENT SHIT films from director Andreas Schnaas. Shot on standard definition video cameras, these films are a sight to behold. Although they are amateurishly made, choppily edited and loaded with ridiculous low-budget gore, these films have an undeniably offensive charm that has kept horror fans entertained for over 25 years!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSynapse Films is proud to present the original VIOLENT SHIT trilogy, along with 2010’s VIOLENT SHIT 4.0: KARL THE BUTCHER VS.
