🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Méliès constructs this early myth adaptation as a horror attraction, relying on theatrical makeup, miniature sets, and trick editing to bring the legendary monster to life. The viewer is treated to a journey to the origins of fantasy cinema, where each frame is handmade magic and a demonstration of cinematic inventiveness.
What lingers after viewing is a sense of witnessing the birth of a genre, when horror was spectacle rather than psychology. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Georges Méliès

Watch in dim light as a curious relic from the magic lantern era.
