The 1920 Silent Horror Masterpiece
In 16th century Prague, Rabbi Loew creates a terrifying giant Golem from clay to protect his people from their persecutors. Employing sorcery, he brings the artificial man to life, endowing him with human emotions. Famulus, Loew's evil assistant, manages to take control of the Golem, commanding it to perform sordid criminal acts culminating in the kidnapping of the Rabbi's beautiful daughter, Miriam. The monster, outraged by his vile misuse, reels and a deadly rampage ensues.
With high, angular sets by famed architect Hans Poelzig and full of wonderful imagery captured by the camera of Karl Freund, this silent classic captivates the eye. Masterfully combining terror and pathos, Wegener's still-limbed portrayal of the Golem clearly influenced Boris Karloff's performance in Frankenstein. This 1920 version of The Golem is considered definitive and is an unforgettable horror masterpiece.
