This is an absolute early horror classic--much in the same vein as Nosferatu, only much more tabu (taboo) and underground--more akin in it's surreal and occultic nature to The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari than it's famous Murnau vampire cousin, also a film from 1922. Also, many people think this is a German film; in fact, it is Swedish. One of my all time favorites. Word about the print here. It's Criterion Collection--restored to full glory!! The music is terrible. So I am viewing it with the soundtrack to Dario Argento's classic 1975 witch horror Suspiria by goblin--very effective!
