A really cool series with great restored video quality as well as a fitting musical score.

Totally worth the watch.

Is this Feuillade guy just about aristocrats being robbed by criminals named after horror creatures, or what?

As well as with Les vampires, I just couldn't understand the fuss around this particular one. It is naïve, slow, and has monotonous sets and takes. Or maybe just silent crime thrillers lack the dynamism I'm used to in contemporary cinema.

If music for this film is the one that appears in Hunziker's link, at least its music fit really well.

A really great score in a twisting detective story. I think showing Fantomas was a mistake (in comparison to the Funès movies). Still, I like this version (1913) way better. It has the right atmosphere and feels like an inspiration to many modern detective stories.
