In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari (1920)
A mystery directed by Robert Wiene.
The director of a mental home brings a somnambulist to a town posing as a carnival act in order to murder people in the night.
The video was in black and white and full screen. The audio was classical music.
check out: The sets in the small town and sanitarium.
Somnambulism is a longer and more threatening term for sleepwalking. This is a good thing to know BEFORE you see the movie. I just thought it was cool because of the sets.
