"Visually stunning for it's time. Overall it's OK but it drags on for too long not helped by the tedious middle section in the movie."

My movie year 2013 (293 movies items)

"10.4. (DVD) Katsottu versio Eureka!n DVD:n löytölapsi Stan Ambrosen harpuilla vaatetettuna. Raskas, mutta älyttömässä mahtipontisuudessaan upea kupillinen espressonismia. Lavastus, puvustus ja tehosteet ovat mielettömiä, eritoten paholaisen ja enkelin sananvaihto teki silmääni näyttävyydellään vaikutuksen. Parissa kohtaa tuli naurahdettuakin meikatulle "nuorelle ja kauniille" Faustille sekä rooliinsa saatanallisen hyvin sopivalle Emil Janningsille. Pirullisen kaksinkamppailun "

Rediscovering Horror: a new project (26 movies items)

"Viewed on: August 4 2012 Beautiful cinematography. Very emotive and powerful special effects, with extreme dramatics in acting. I really needed to see this movie. I now understand the fascination and love that people feel for some of the brilliantly visual silent movies. The images are unforgettable. This is a movie worth owning. "
