The next stage in the birth of kino horror is German Expressionism, dark gothic paintings about duality, madness and paranoia. A prime example is The Study of Dr. Caligari (1920) by Robert Wienet. This film still looks decent - pavilion shooting with insane decorations, a psychiatric theme (and not only power). No less influential than Caligari were the films Golem (1920), Nosferatu, Symphony of Horror (1922) and Doctor Mabuse (1922).
But modern mainstream horror still begins with Universal Studios in the early 1930s. These are free film adaptations of horror and fantasy novels - about Dracula, Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, the Mummy, etc. The films are not as crazy as the ones made in Germany in the 1920s. But it has its own merits - theatrical intonation, exquisite Gothic style and its own cinematic universe.
