The marvelous Melies magically makes a monster move and frolic about, showing us his mastery with a few great special effects from his era. He makes a skeleton appear and gives it life after which it proceeds to get up and run around. The monster then melts until only the head remains before growing to twice the height of Melies the magician. After returning to normal size the neck sprouts from it's body like a flower would the earth, which for 1903 i find to be a spectacular special effect. Melies the great illusionist then amazes us by turning the monster into a beautiful woman and of course adding his signature, by making her disappear! Another wonderful film by early-cinema's most innovative and entertaining performer!
