The film was quite long and slow in comparison to the actual story line, this is due to its long scene holds on expressional faces and suspense building "There's a period of adjustment when watching it - unfortunately necessary for a modern audience. The titles seem to slow. The camera seems to hold on scenes too long" {2} Gafke. 2004. Internet Movie Data Base.

Being a silent movie, using dramatic scenes and a small array of text now and then, you really have to put your full attention into the film to understand its story line of murders and growing madness. "The story is a classic sampling of expressionism paranoia about a hypnotist who uses a somnambulist to do his murders, full of the gloom and fear that prevailed in Germany as it emerged from WWI" {3} DP.
