The silent horror film has an environment during the 1900s, which gave the plot of the story an even more interesting feeling. The over the top dramatic expressions showed the audience how the character felt and explained by text what exactly is going on. The story is about an fair that is going on in town and a man wants to amaze the people by showing them Cesare, the Somnambulist which can answer anyone's questions. Deaths occur around the respond around town, blaming other criminals instead of Cesare. Eventually Cesare gets caught in action stealing a girl from her home. The film ends by tricking the audience into thinking most of his imagination are real but instead he plays with his mind in a mental hospital.
I really enjoyed the edgy style used in this film.
