David Lee Fisher offers an enticing visual remix of the 1920 German expressionist classic with this innovative updating that places contemporary performers against scanned backdrops of the original and offers a detailed new script to create an exciting new vision. As the annual fair descends upon the sleepy burg of Holstenwall, Germany,
Francis and his best friend
Alan are unwittingly enticed into attending an exhibition by malevolent hypnotist
Dr. Caligari that will have a sinister, life-changing effect on the pair. When the dreadful doctor awakens psychic sleepwalker
Cesare (
Hellboy's
Doug Jones) from his profound slumber to predict
Alan's future, the resulting prophecy is endlessly more terrifying than the frightened friends could have ever imagined. In the days that follow, the citizens of Holstenwell fall prey to a grisly series of unsolved murders that prompts
Francis to launch a thorough investigation. With the killer fast closing in on
Francis' unsuspecting fiancée
Jane, the brave husband-to-be must uncover the secret of
Dr. Caligari's strange powers before his one and only love suffers a particularly grim fate.
