This three-part photoplay affords the last word in thrills. Edgar Allan Poe never excelled the gripping, awe-inspiring power of the scenes during which Maurice Donnelly is electrocuted and then brought back to life. One mistake of the producer would have been sufficient to turn the entire episode into ridicule; the mistake has not been made. Wm. Addison Lathrop, the author; William Humphrey, the producer; Leo Delaney, Leah Baird, Mary Maurice, Josephine Earle and the actor who impersonates the electrical expert, have labored together in perfect harmony, and produced a work of exceptional merit. - The Moving Picture World, April 24, 1915
