Häxan (1922)
Benjamin Christensen's silent masterpiece "Häxan" of 1922 is easily one of the most impressive and awe-inspiring experiences a fan of Horror or cineaste in general can have. This film is fascinating and brilliant in so many aspects that it is hard to decide where to start. "Häxan" (aka. "Häxan" - Witchcraft Through the Ages") is a groundbreaking film, amazing and scandalous for its time in both its topics and its images, but its value as a classic and milestone is by far not the only quality this masterpiece bears. Not only is "Häxan" one of the most fascinating and groundbreaking films made in the 1920s, it is one of the most fascinating cinematic experiences to date. (IMDB Benjamin Gauss)
