Valerii Ege D @RT37895442 Nov 13, 2023 It is the first horror movie -to my knowledge- shot in California. A perfect horror comedy, a fantastic movie. Buster Keaton is a genius and underrated.

See more Jul 27, 2013 One of Buster Keaton's weaker shorts of the period. While the story and the gags rest on a solid premise, the structure is far looser than Keaton's usual two-reelers and falls victim to its own incoherency. However, while the film as a whole isn't remarkable, it contains a number of quite funny jokes and plays around with some wonderful sight gags. Categorized today as one of his "house films", Keaton uses the titular setting as a character of its own, and sets it full of booby traps, allowing it to act both as Keaton's comic partner and prop supplier. A few memorable scenes include Buster throwing a pot up in the air and moving a man's head in the way to knock him out and a delightfully surprising dream sequence in which he goes first to Heaven and then to Hell.
