Der Golem
This is a movie that I alwayswanted to see and I had the chance about a year ago. This movie titled Der Golem was made in 1914 and went under the title Monster of Fate here in the USA. The movie was directed by Paul Wegener. Wegener not only directed but he produced and co wrote the movie. On top of that Paul Wegener played the part of the giant clay Statue whos name was Teuton. Der Golem had 2 sequels and Paul Wegener played the part of Teuton in all 3 movies. He also directed all 3 movies in 1914 1917 1920. The 2nd movie in 1917 was titled Der Golem und die Tanzerin. This 2nd Goem movie in 1917 is also important in the history of horror movies seen that it was the 1st horror movie sequel made. And in 1920 the 3rd of the Golem movies was made titled Wie Er in die welt Kam ( How he came into the World) If someone were to ask me how to discribe Golem to them I would say its like a Jewish Frankenstien movie. German director Paul Wegener became the first film maker since film maker Georges Melies to specialize in the Supernatural. The last Golem movie came to the USA 3 years after it was made in 1923.
