This German silent film was so ground breaking and shocking that it ran successfully in theaters for 7 years (1919-1926) and is considered by many to be the first horror film. It has a twist ending along with the traumatic play on psychological ethics that enable it to remian inspirational and a reference to countless modern horror pieces. A number of dubbed versions exist, as well as a computer generated remake by director David Lee Fisher, which all should avoid at any cost- stick to the original silent!
