The Phantom Carriage (1921)

AKA: Körkarlen

Director: Victor Sjöström


Premise:
During a night of drinking, three friends recount the legend of the "phantom carriage" which says the last sinner to die on the eve of the New Year will be forced to be the collector of the souls.

My Take:
For a silent movie made nearly 90 years ago, it holds up fairly well. The camera and lighting techniques stand out. Great performances too.
Check out this classic flick.

Rating: So Good.
