I made a silent horror film this month. It was a lot of fun to make. Films have been made for over hundred years now and in many ways the silent film is still the high art of film making.
Films are visual. Silent films didn't have a lot of boring talking, you had to see what they are doing and understand the story. If you can't watch a film with the sound turned on and understand what is going on, you have a play with moving pictures.
Of course silent films had a great soundtrack that would also move an audience. Full orchestras would move the house as the film was projected. Film, music and a few intertitles were all that where needed to have a great film.
The hardest part of making the silent horror film was composing the soundtrack. Filming and acting are easy compared with composing a score that helps the film. Well I hope you like the film, sit back and pretend you are in 1911 watching this great silent horror film.
