Dr. Caligari (film)

Dr. Caligari is a 1989 cult film by Stephen Sayadian starring Madeleine Reynal, Laura Albert, Gene Zerna, David Parry and Jennifer Balgobin. It is a semi-sequel to the movie The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. The film details a disturbed doctor (the granddaughter of the original Dr. Caligari) and her illegal experiments on her patients.

Originally, and briefly, billed as Dr. Caligari 3000 when it debuted at selected theaters in 1989, the film promptly faded into obscurity. When it was released on VHS and limited Betamax format, the title has since been Dr. Caligari. The film was also released in America on Laserdisc by Image Home Entertainment. The Image laserdisc is, however, very rare, and is extremely expensive when found. In 2002, it was released on DVD by Excalibur Films. The film is considered a cult classic and has been shown as a "Midnight Movie" at various times.
