Reviews on the Internet Archive
★★★★★ · Epstein vs J.S. Watson · underground culturevulture · 2018-04-18
Epstein set the pattern for commercial horror films especially Universal however did not follow what Poe had written. He changed the sister to a wife using Able Gance's wife for the part. The truly amazing J. S. Watson {a true genius and also a millionaire Dr.} although overly influenced by German Expressionism was much more true to the story. Lot in Sodom is possibly one of the worlds greatest film.
