• Plot: In this B&W silent film: Genuine, the exotic priestess of an ancient cult, is made callous and cruel by her subjects’ worship. When her tribe is massacred, she is sold as a slave to an elderly German aristocrat, Lord Melo. Unable to bear another man gazing upon his acquisition, he imprisons her in his home. But when a handsome young man visits Melo, it is a simple matter of Genuine to convince him to slit the old man’s throat. Now free, she lusts for the power she once knew, and death will surely befall anyone who stands in her way. BONUS: THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER (B&W, 1928, Silent): This abstract adaptation of the classic Edgar Allan Poe short story is one of the first examples of the American avant-garde movement that developed outside of Hollywood in the 1920s. Directors James Sibley Watson and Melville Webber use techniques borrowed from German Expressionism to illustrate the madness of the doomed Roderick Usher. Directed by James Sibley Watson & Melville Webber. 111622-111622T-DVD7
