The Devil and the Statue (1901)
Directed by Georges Melies this is an early short film. A statue turns into the devil and menaces a woman.
It takes a little while for the devil to show up given the short run time but it is mostly worth the wait. This is a fun little combination of trick photography, a nice set and some decent costumes. I am not sure if this is supposed to be a specific story from folklore or not, if so the context is lost on me.
3/5
