The Seven Castles of the Devil

The Seven Castles of the Devil (1901)

0h 11m | PG-13

⭐ 5.7 / 10

An oppressive droning score makes this rendering of the Faust legend quite disturbing to watch. The film itself consists of a number of impressive ‘appearing out of thin air’ effects, some lavish costumes, sets and backdrops. A climactic sword fight between a man and the Devil is a standout scene.
