have this movie be make a few year later and i would have give it a low score . however and for 1909 and this be a dandy little movie and still stand up pretty well today . just do not try to compare this silent film to later silents the industry change so radically that the short of the first decade of the 20th century do not look at all like movie make in the 1910s and beyond . this movie be 11 minute long ( about average for most film back then ) and be a variation of the edgar allen poe story and the cask of amontillado . while many be familiar with the story and i would not elaborate far a i do not want to ruin the film . just suffice to say that it very creepy .
