Rating:  - A Great Spin for Silent Films
This is a very fun and creative film done with a steady hand. The dvd features and quality are quite good, too. All around a satisfying purchase.
Rating:  - VERY GOOD FILM----EVEN THOUGH NO ONE SAYS A WORD IN IT!
YES. IT'S A GOOD FILM. GET IT FROM NETFLIX OR BUY A COPY FROM AMAZON. THE ACTING, THE SETS, THE COSTUMES-----ALL FIRST RATE. THE STORY----VERY GOOD STORY. WHAT'S IT ABOUT....AS A CHILD "THE MAN" HAS BEEN DEFORMED SURGICALLY BY SOME GYPSIES SO HE HAS A PERMANENT "SNEERING FACIAL EXPRESSION"----A "PERMANENT CLOWN FACE." HIS LOVE, DEA, IS BEAUTIFUL AND ALL THE ACTORS EXPRESS EMOTION EXTREMELY WELL. RECOMMENDED! boland7214@aol.com

CALIGARI, NOSFERATU, THE GOLEM, ... Read More
Rating: - Classic German expressionist horror!
I'd been looking for this movie for a long time. I was not disappointed! Excellent quality, and thoroughly enjoyable to watch.
