More witch than fairy


The Fairy of the Black Rocks (1907)

Directed by Segundo de Chomon this short film features Julienne Mathieu. An old woman asks a man for help, he refuses and she turns out to be a witch.

Simple in content with some decent special effects this is not exactly a ground breaking short. As films of the period go this one is better for having a plot even if it is fairly basic. Well made but probably a rip off of a Melies film.

3/5
