Press Quotes

...it flirts with being sexy and dangerous. Perhaps, in the end, this is the most accomplished act of suspension of disbelief!

     —Screen Anarchy

Could this lost silent film short actual cause an entire audience to go all EVENT HORIZON and start beating each other to death? Who knows? Watch the documentary and judge for yourself.

     —the13thfloor

A fascinating film that touches on cinema history, the origins of spiritism in film and the psychological puzzle pieces of mass hysteria.

     —The Terror Time

Documents a time when movie magic was much more frightening and otherworldly. It's a time worth traveling back to.

     —Dread Central

Fury of the Demon works wonderfully because it presents a little known aspect of the life of a man who changed the world to an audience it expects to be intelligent.

     —Starburst

As much a celebration as it is a sleight of hand, and an engrossing and entertaining one at that.

     —SciFi Now

Highlights the imaginative power of cinema itself, capable of conjuring reality's phantoms from fictive montages.
