Widely recognized as the source of the Frankenstein myth, the ancient Hebrew legend of the Golem provided actor/director Poul Wegener with the substance for one of the most adventurous films of the German silent cinema. Suffering under the tyrannical rule of Rudolf II in 16th-century Prague, a Talmunic rabbi (Albert Steinruck) creates a giant warrior (Paul Wegener) to protect the safety of his people. When the rabbi's assistant (Ernst Deutsch) takes control of the Golem and attempts to use him for selfish gain, the lumbering monster runs rampant, abducting the rabbi's daughter (Lyda Salmonovo) and setting fire to the ghetto. With its remark­able creation sequence (a dazzling blend of religion, sorcery and special effects) and the grand-scale destruction of its climax, The Go/em was one of the greatest achievements of the legendary UFA Studios, and remains an undeniable landmark in the evolution of the horror film.
