psteier Review of The Avenging Conscience: or 'Thou Shalt Not Kill'

The Avenging Conscience: or 'Thou Shalt Not Kill' (1914)

An early Poe knockoff; minor D W Griffith

[5/10 · 29 April 2000]

Inspired and vaguely based on Poe's The Telltale Heart and with the words of Poe's Annabel Lee on some of the titles.

Some interesting shots of mad visions and of fiends from hell.

For dance historians a short 'Greek/Roman' dance at a garden party.
