★★★★★ · 1910 Amazing!!!! · stuntrek · 2010-10-26
Obviously one of the first stuntman and stuntwoman since the Actor and Actress did their own stunts. Also the camera angle in the mirror was extremely inventive for that time. BUT most of all running the film backwards to make the Monster was pure GENIUS!!!!

Until now I could never have believed that this story could have been made into a love story.

completely without sense of rapprouchement with the author, who would no doubt be appalled by the singular lack of effort at hiding contrivences in acting, balance of story line, special effects and relation to art, any sense of time or place, as well as any flair for the drama of the whole. but that won't stop you.
