User Reviews
SilentScream – 7/10
“The atmosphere is genuinely unsettling for its age. The idea of a jealous lover literally becoming a beast is both ridiculous and terrifying, but somehow it works. I couldn't look away from the eerie dance between obsession and madness.”
VintageVamp – 5/10
“I appreciate the historical value, and the monkey suit is definitely weirdly creepy, but the pacing is slow and the plot feels a bit too simple for my taste. Still, the final scene left me with a chill.”
Gorehound_Gus – 6/10
“Definitely not for everyone, but if you're into silent horror, this is a must-see. The acting is a bit over-the-top, but the premise is so out there that it's hard not to be fascinated. It's a creepy, bizarre gem.”
FrightFanatic – 4/10
“Honestly, I found it more silly than scary. The monkey mask looks kinda goofy, and the story feels like a soap opera gone wrong. But I guess for 1917, it was groundbreaking. Good for a laugh, but not for a scare.”
