Description
Grand Guignol Silent Shorts
Dir. Various, 1898-1921, USA/UK/France
Runtime: 80 min.
Language: No spoken language
Down a late-19th-century back alley in Paris’s seedy Pigalle district, a former-chapel- turned-performance space became a theatrical institution forged in naturalism, controversy and grisly spectacle. By the early 1920s, pioneering filmmakers had begun to adapt Grand Guignol vignettes for a slate of intense one-reelers dripping with psychological terror. These were seen as milestones in the evolution of the horror genre before it had a name.
