Synopsis

The dishonorable Doktor Schnizel preserves his mother's dead body and carries out a project to materialize a miracle of resurrection. After making final preparation, he ventures out to find an energetic young woman to make the final touches on his experiment. One night, he succeeds in taking a woman home and prepares her for the evil deed against her will. The Curse of Doktor Schnitzel is a silent movie falling along the lines of the classic style of German experssionism that was used to furnish the film classic The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. The film was given the Audience's Award at the Brussels Fantastic Film Festival last year. (Na Ho-Won)
