Another One for the Undertaker (1901)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
If you're a fan of Georges Melies then you know he was a master at the trick film. This here isn't the work of Melies and it's rather obvious, although the ultra short running time is small enough to where you can be entertained. Basically a man walks into a room where he goes to undress for bed but he's haunted by an invisible force. There's obviously nothing ground-breaking here but for the most part this is entertaining enough to where it's worth watching for fans of these early movies. The trick effects aren't anything spectacular but they look good enough for the period. The film does have an edited shot to an alternate location at the end of the film, which wasn't all too common for the time.
