The first horror film, and by the great Georges Melies (who also plays the devil!) What a treat! Either Melies hadn't mastered editing yet in this early short or the version I saw looked like it may have been missing some frames here and there so the action was very jerky but it was still exciting to be able to watch this piece of film history 120 years later. Some of Melies famous trick photography was on display here with characters changing shape or disappearing constantly so there was always something interesting going on. 8 years 8 months ago -
