First off, we have the story which has Hypnotist Dr. Caligari use a somnambulist, Cesare, to commit murders. I thought the story was captivating and entrancing as it progressed as well as the subject matter it focused on with Dr. Caligari and Cesare. 

Next, we have the characters which overall, I thought were very interesting and the acting from the main cast gave life to them especially the actors behind Dr. Caligari and especially Cesare who's presence stalks the film when he appears. 

As for the film's visuals I thought, I thought the cinematography was fantastic from the designs of the sets to the way the shadows and lighting are used to create a striking and haunting setting. Moving onto the tone of the film which was very interesting it used it's horror aspects in it's themes but visual style which for it's time shows how important it became and that it must be viewed by others. I thought the soundtrack of the film was great and it accompanied the style to create a creepy atmosphere. 

I give The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari a score of 10/10
