I enjoyed it! There's no way I'd ever recommend it to anybody else though. I believe my brother liked it, but I'll have to check with him again to make sure I didn't dream that. <br /><br />I'll definitely agree that there were far too many title cards though. Maybe you should have watched it with the Burroughs' narration. That version's significantly shorter anyway. <br /><br />And next time I see you, I'm going to enthusiastically say, "Hey! Let's watch Haxan!" just to mess with you.Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033662507699896530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784846369945401487.post-90643435039265372642009-08-20T11:04:43.848-07:002009-08-20T11:04:43.848-07:00After watching this, I looked for reviews in my Ma...After watching this, I looked for reviews in my Maltin book and another that I own. Neither had seen it, and I envy them. <br /><br />This film is an hour and forty-four minutes long, but felt like an eternity (maybe this is what The Devil watches in Hell for entertainment). I swear I looked at the clock about 30 times. There are good moments. The metaphorical churning, insect devil babies, fun costumes, and some extreme overacting occasionally liven this up a little. For the most part though, "Haxan" is preachy, dreary, overly earnest, boring and depressing. It is a college lecture in the guise of a movie (including the irritating pointers you mention). It looks like something a film student might make. I have never seen so many subtitles in a silent, and it felt like pure work getting through this. If all silents were like this then I would never watch another. The music that was chosen was so incongruous that I had to turn the volume down or I would have assuredly gone crazy like a nun with The Devil in her.<br /><br />I really can't believe that you gave this a 16. I can't imagine any group of people who have ever seen this saying "hey, let's watch "Haxan"!". You must have been in a much better mood than I was. Were you high? You're review might lead someone to think this might have "Rocky Horror..." possibilities, but they haven't seen it. I haven't seen any movie like this before, but that doesn't make it a good film. I would give it a point for novelty and two points for The Devil, who I enjoyed more than anything else (I wished he was in every scene), but that only brings this up to a 12. I will say that the movie ends perfectly. I was surprised that the Danish word for "The End" is SLUT.
