A one eyed monster in a cave

 

Ulysses and the Giant Polyphemus (1905)


Directed by Georges Melies this is an early short film. A man fights a one eyed giant.


As far as the special effects go this one is a bit of a mixed bag, definitely falls short of the likes of Ray Harryhausen even if that might be an unfair comparison. Without an good knowledge of the stories of Ulysses it is a bit hard to make out what is going on in the early parts of the film. A nice effort but not great to modern eyes.


2/5
