Must we say more? Yes, we must: your name will be FEATURED AS A PRODUCER DURING THE INTRO OF THE GAME. Really: it's a virtual, animated rendition of yourself. Of course, this tier includes the profile with photo and custom biography too, also printed and signed. You know, just send us a few screams, cries, groans, and stuff like that if desired. We can also USE YOUR OWN VOICE for this character. For an example of how you will appear in the game, try our Interactive Teaser and look inside the last cell. We will painstakingly model an inmate that looks just like you, wonderfully integrated with the breathtaking graphics in Asylum, and the players will see your virtual self whenever they explore the dreaded "Tunnel of the Damned". Otherwise, why would you give five thousand bucks to complete strangers, right? Rest assured that your money is in good hands, and for your amazingly considerate pledge you get the same rewards as the High Risk Female Pledge, except you are FEATURED AS AN IN-GAME CHARACTER IN A CELL. Overall Rating: *****.HIGH RISK FEMALE PRODUCER - You really care. A recommended early landmark in weirdness. This adds to the nightmarish quality of the film, which is also enhanced by the fact that you can't tell the sane from the insane half the time. Especially weird are the bizarre, twisted setsâÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂeverything that should be straight and rectangular (such as walls, doors, windows, etc.) is instead slanted and curved at wacked-out angles. But the story is told in the young man's flashbackâÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂand he turns out to be the insane one! This is one weird film, especially for its time. The young man calls on the law to confront the mad doctor Caligari, who ends up locked up in his own asylum, raving mad.
A young man solves the mystery by discovering that the doctor is the head of a local insane asylum and is using a strange cabinet to carry out the experiments of an 18th-century crazed monk named Caligari in controlling the behavior of a catatonic patient, including making the patient commit murder. Soon after his arrival, strange murders start happening. A strange doctor comes to a village fair with a "somnambulist" who tells fortunes. This landmark German expressionist film set the tone for horror for years to come. intrigue-insanity-mystery-they all await you-, and the doctor is in. if you can, get a hold of the color-tinted version, as it plays at a more normal speed, there are less jumps and cuts, and it is visually clearer.
the old man that francis is telling the story to, realizing that he has been conversing the entire time with an inmate, and has listened to a tale woven more than likely on the spot, is a beautifully captured moment of reaction you can actually follw his flow of thought as he understands that the hero of the tale he has just heard is not only lying about everything, but has done it so convincingly that the reality of where he is and whom he is with, scares him only a little more than it does us.
the scenery is askew, doors, windows, buildings, even hills are presented extremely angular, the mannerisms of people are slightly odd, and the plotline weaves in and out leaving no time for questioning the areas that dont seem to make complete sense until the twist ending. caligaris world is filled with multiple juxtapositions. we first meet him in an alcove of an asylum where he is in conversation with a fellow visitor(francis is visiting his beloved)as francis begins the story of how his beloved bacame interred within an asylum ,we are introduced to the world of his antogonist - dr. thats whats in store for you when you enter the world of francis.
