Being more or less forced to learn German for work, I was given this 1931 German film and told, "Watch and you'll pick up on the language." Well I have seen parts of this production in the past amounting to more or less all of it but never had I sat down and viewed it in its entirety, and it was my loss that I had not because I actually like it, not only for its history, and its story but its depiction of Victorian London, and the cynical outlook at its violent heart. What did haunt this movie was my knowledge of what lay ahead in Germany on the cusp, as it was, of Hitler's rise, and the real life fates of some of the actors here stuck with me, especially that of Carola Neher who died in a prison camp. It also features the best song about a serial arsonist, rapist, knife-wielding killer ever set to music.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
