Plot
A thriller about a hunting party in a haunted house.
Sinekatalog’s take
F.W. Murnau's early silent thriller gathers a hunting party in a mysterious castle where a murder shadows the guests. Moody and atmospheric, with early signs of his shadow-play, it is a minor but intriguing early work.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
