See more Melissa L @Agent99 Jun 27, 2026 It's a classic film. It is a little creepy. It was interesting, though. See more R T @Kezla Jun 16, 2026 It is said to be the first film to do this twist. I believe it holds up. The score is my favorite. The haunting aesthetics were nice to see. See more Joaquin U @Joaquin1 May 8, 2026 It’s amazing how such an old movie—silent, no less—can still impact modern viewers. The twisted, disproportional, and eerie sets create the perfect stage for this tale of madness and suspense. It shaped the mystery/horror genre and stands as one of the most influential works in cinema history. Very entertaining, and a joy to watch.

What Worked: Painting shadows and harsh lines directly onto canvas sets gives the framing a claustrophobic vibe I absolutely loved. Projecting Cesare’s shadow during the attack was a brilliant blocking choice. Through my Methodist faith lens, seeing characters blindly obey deranged authority is a dark reminder to question worldly power and lean into grace. The Cuts: The early part really dragged for me before we actually get to the creepy somnambulist stuff. Because the camera is mostly locked off, transitions feel stiff, making it play more like a stage show. Keeping it spoiler-free, reading through massive chunks of text on dense title cards completely breaks the visual momentum right when suspense peaks. Verdict: A trippy nightmare that basically invented arthouse horror. A must-watch, but skip if you hate slow, silent-era pacing. See more Read all reviews
