The Night Before
Christmas (1905)
Directed by Edwin S.
Porter this film is based on the poem “Twas the Night Before
Christmas” by Clement Clarke Moore. We see Santa Claus prepare for
Christmas then visit a family.
Taking a classic poem
and combining it with early special effects this is a charming little
short film. Nostalgia and general Christmas goodness all come
together here to produce an entertaining little film. It may seem a
little rudimentary compared to modern film but in my opinion this
film holds up well.
4/5
