Silent German film. In the 16th century a king orders all the Jews to be banished from his kingdom. A Jewish magician brings to life a clay statue to get the king to reverse his order.
A classic horror film--a direct influence on many others...especially "Frankenstein". Personally, I don't like this film. It was very slow (even at 70 minutes), the print was in terrible shape, the piano score monotomous and there's some hysterically bad overacting by the extras. But, all the acting by the main players was good; the sets were simply stunning and this is one of the first examples of German expressionism. And how can I really hate a film that influenced so many great horror films? I give it a 7.
