An OK Silent Movie

Rating: 6/10 (27 June 2018)

If the first half of the movie was as good as the second half, it would have received my rating of 7. But the first half was tedious and too slow, so overall a 6 is fair. The end result is an enjoyable movie with tense moments in it.
I wonder why so many reviewers rate it so badly. What did they expect? If you want to watch a horror movie this is not it and never was meant to be one. The story was good with warts and all, but why try to demean any faults? You cannot be relaxed if you spend your time looking for errors, but you miss the thrill and enjoyment for which most people watch a particular movie. If it is not your scene, don't bother about it in the first place.
I don't like silent movies, but I knew what I was in for and this film gets my thumbs up.
