We conclude our season of silent film horrors with this chilling WW1 drama, presented with multi-layered musical accompaniment by Stephen Horne on piano, flute, and accordion, and live-‘screamed’ to horror fans across the globe!

A gripping tale of vengeance inspired by the patriotic fervour in the months immediately following the Great War. Hobart Bosworth stars as Oscar Krug, a working-class American, who is persecuted for his German ancestry after war is declared. Eager to prove his loyalty to the Allies, Krug enlists and goes to sea. However, tragedy strikes when his wife sneaks aboard his ship and is captured by the enemy, following a U-boat attack. Wallace Beery co-stars as the villainous German submarine commander but it is Bosworth who will stay in your memory long after the film's shocking and brutal climax. You have been warned!
