What Can I Say? I Love This!

THE STORY & GENRE -- Satanic cult kidnaps rich young man and his girl, bringing them to a house of chaos and weirdness, including menacing gorilla, helpful dwarf, and strange "wolf-man." Is it genre? Watch and see!

THE VERDICT -- This is brisk film-making, with many interesting moments and motives. To say anymore would spoil what I consider to be a great ending. Sheldon Lewis, who previously played Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920), is wonderful as "The Spider." Wow, Laska Winter! Thelma Todd!

FREE ONLINE -- Two versions. (1) 59-minute silent Italian print, with excellent picture, and at times with English translation of the intertitles, (2) 76-minute silent "restored" version by Serial Squadron, with actually a terrible picture but much more of it, haha, and English intertitles.
