The director is Ladislas Starevich/Wladyslaw Starewicz, a Polish-Russian director who also made animated films. He left Russia after the October revolution and established himself in France where he continued to make films. He died in 1965.

[@Calc_Ulator]

Better than most horrors I've seen. And that moving picture effect was top notch, didn't look like a person in makeup!

[@0101-s7v]

Yeah, they have some really clever effects back in the day.… some better than today.

I liked your comment! Yep, it's one way of inviting bad Karma into your life/home.

[@KohaAlbert]

I can't get the sketch behind the painting

[@TheCraziestCatLady.]

Tee hee too funny

[@NoldorianElf]

It‘s creepy and hilariously funny. The „ghost“ from the picture slowly creeping out of the frame. Then he casually sits beside the table checking what’s inside his bag. Seems a little worried he forgot something and contemplating like someone who is overthinking a shopping list. Then he simply leaves without a word. Thank you for loading up this document of film history!

Great music, as always. edit: for anyone interested, the piece is: Rachmaninoff - Elegie in E-flat minor, Op. 3 No. 1

[@brucevair-turnbull8082]

I haven't read Gogol for years. 'The Overcoat' is chilling and absurd in equal measure.

[@IDiggSocialMedia]

It seems that the painting's owner is have sleep paralysis nightmares! I'm not a big fan of silent films, but this isn't bad! Better and scarier than most Hollywood horror films! I think it inspired "The Night Gallery"!

[@Greenpoloboy3]

A superb piece from nearly 109 years ago! Amazing

[@chasidahL]

Absolutely fabulous! Creepy, atmospheric and intriguing. 💀

[@NothingToPointOut24]

This could've been a Twilight Zone. Only at the end the guy in the painting puts the person who bought it, inside the picture and brings him back to the store lol.

[@animatedastronaut8967]

this film is based on my favorite short story, The Portrait, by nikolai gogol!

[@emmayarseeyuess9044]

Wow! Fantastic restoration. A real time machine.

[@nitestrykerx01]

This piece of film is absolutely brilliant

[@Alex090]

Great restoration however in this case I would love to have seen the original also since some parts are really distorted and its though to determine if its the restoration algorithm or its the movie.

[@Astraldiverblue]

First visualization of visions in sleep paralysis)

[@candie2222]

Oh yes, you're right, didn't think of this! We can also see these sorts of "entities" when we go through these, sleep paralysis, astral travel..

Looks like one of Vincent Van Gogh's creepy paintings. Thats his style.

Great film. If you enjoyed the vibe I'd suggest reading the story, "The Judge's House" by Bram Stoker. (It was published the year before this film)

[@Eugene.H264]

Thanks for "Judge's house"! By the way, this movie is an adaptation of a short story "The portrait" by Nikolay Gogol, 1835.

I agree. Am in favor of restoration, but in this case, should not have been colorized.

[@spmoran4703]

It doesnt have to be dark to be scary.

@@spmoran4703 yes, but the action is supposed to take place at night😅 I think it was filmed like this for technical reasons

I think there are lots of double frames, every 4th or so, so it is not really 60 fps. This is the norm. I've seen one channel that gets rid of them.

Perhaps because the young man bears a faint resemblance to him? The film also relies heavily on figure movement and expression, which is a similarity they both share.
