How It Feels to Be Run Over
Dir: Cecil Hepworth
1900
*****
A great little film from the Hepworth Manufacturing Company who really did like their cars. Their special effects were quite advanced for the time but the real highlight is the last frame when 'Oh, mother will be pleased' flashes up on the screen. A classic from the silent era, and a good example of how the early filmmaker shrived to entertain and involve the audience in the experience. Looking good for a film well over 100 years old.
