This picture actually scared me. I don't like scary movies never cared for them, just didn't like the way they made me feel. I'm pretty sure if I was a kid when this picture came out, I would of not been able to sleep for weeks.
The use of story and light worked, and played with peoples emotions. You knew you shouldnt look, yet you couldn't turn away, you wanted to know what would happen next. it is clear that this is a expressionistic picture, every was very abstratic, like you where looking at a picture up on the wall, but it was of centre. The sets, where even on a angle. Which I think was the directors way of messing with you. You can tell this is a German picture because even the happy momments of the picture sound scary, with the music having that jarring sound to it. Again, this effecting the way you watch the picture, if the music was easy to listen to, you would come away from this picture with a different feeling. You can really tell the director put a lot of emotion behind this picture, and expressed as much of him self as he could.
