Sneak attack!


Surprise Attack on a House at Daybreak (1898)

Directed by Alice Guy-Blache this is an early short film. A group of soldiers sneak up on the occupants of a house and attack them.

One of the earliest action films out there with a lot of stuff happening on screen during the short run time. It is a little difficult to tell exactly who is going where at times but otherwise this is a ground breaking film. Plenty to enjoy even if this is not the most polished effort ever.

3/5
