Title: One of the best silent films ever
Review: The special effects of this film are simply amazing for their time. Coupled with that, the acting is equally superb with no arm-throwing, eyelash-batting overly melodramatic acting seen in films of the time. No real dialogue is needed to convey the story which is powerful on its own. I wish people would not give the entire plot away in these reviews; leave it to the viewer to see and judge for themselves. I am thrilled to see it released on DVD; I'm buying it and showing it to friends and to young people at my church to show them what consequences our decisions have on others and ourselves. If only Hollywood would bring back the days of truly writing a good STORY line without relying on special effects to carry everything people wouldn't mind paying for a good movie. 'Nuf said.
