Unseen enemy


An Unseen Enemy (1912)

Directed by D. W. Griffith this film stars Lillian Gish, Dorothy Gish, Elmer Booth and Robert Harron. Two sisters are held at gun point as thieves try to steal their family money.

Taking a simplistic plot this is a good example of what Griffith does well with early cinema, setting up a good climatic end race. Not exactly a stand out piece otherwise this is still a decent watch. It also helps this film does not come with the same baggage as some of Griffith's other films.

3/5
