Dr. Caligari ★★ 1989 (R)

The granddaughter of the original Dr. Caligari promotes “better living through chemistry” in her insane asylum while using her patients as guinea pigs in her bizarre sexual experiments. Nothing outstanding here in terms of story or performance, but “Dick Tracy” has nothing on the visually compelling set designs and make-up. 80m/C VHS . Madeleine Reynal, Fox Harris, Laura Albert, Jennifer Balgobin, John Durbin, Gene Zerna, David Parry, Barry Phillips; D: Stephen Sayadian; W: Stephen Sayadian, Jerry Stahl; C: Stephen Sayadian.
