| User ReviewJoel AA beautiful atmospheric gothic romance set in the deep south in Louisiana, even the moss of the trees set a spiderweb feel to film which was the story of these 'flies' trapped by the 'spider' so to speak. Very melodramatic but it was the silent era so this was not uncommon for the day. The had a strong sense of direction to it. The techniques in this film where sensational beautiful fades & transitions. Even the scenes with the wild oranges was effective, the villain in this film was a little extreme for me but in 1924 I have no doubt he was ferrying. The style & mounting tension of the film is to be commended & the director deserves a lot of praise for this film. |
