Director Tod Browning and Lon Chaney’s most satisfying collaboration is a bizarre tale of one loved too well but not wisely. Crafted by Tod Browning (“Freaks”) at the height of his fascination with outsiders and obsession, the film exemplifies a pre-sanitized Hollywood willing to venture into genuinely disturbing psychological terrain. Long revered by cinephiles and midnight audiences alike, this film has become a cornerstone of silent-era cult cinema — praised for its intensity, its taboo-challenging imagery, and its fearless emotional extremity. Seen with an audience, its shocks and silences land with renewed force, making this bold statement one of the most unsettling and uncompromising films of the 1920s.• Member discount: $8 (premium seating in reserved section)
