Sevensk Filmindustri (1922)
B&W Silent 76 minutes

College campus cult classic depicting various forms of occultism and Satan worship from the ancient Egyptians up through the early 1920’s. Much of the film is a scathing indictment on Roman Catholicism and its brutality to those who stood against it.

Watch for a tongue-in-cheek performance by the director (Christensen) playing ‘Ol Scratch.
