originally and the spider be plan a a four part serial and and it show . i dislike serial while theyre typically ridiculous and convoluted and banal . this one be no exception . in the first part of the spider and the golden lake and a rich adventurer thwart the plan of a gang of criminal the spider to steal gold from inca . a silly love triangle ensues and with some cowboy and indian action . the sensationalism and exotica of it do not entertain me . one can legitimately trace theme from this two part series to lang later and far superior work . and and the film making be good than in other serial i have see from this time and include le vampire ( 1915 ) . in the spider and the camera isn not a static and and this film be fast paced and thankfully . the tinting and lighting be adequate and too . none of that remarkable and though . it nearly unseemly and however and in how closely this series resemble louis feuillade serial while the criminal gang dress and behaves like those in le vampire only the name and and to a less extent and the situation have change . for the further comment on the spider series and see the web page for it .
