It's interesting to me how the more tolerable of these earliest films excel through their utilisation of fairly un-breathtaking stop-motion play. I suppose such tactics allow for greater creativity in terms of storytelling, as opposed to the less effective ones that might rigidly plant participants into middling situations. The House of the Devil just about belongs to the group considering its passive appeal, but there's nothing especially innovative in aesthetic terms.

Historically important and all that, but suffers from lack of plot and (atypical for Mélies) clumsy choreography.

I'm loving the Melies. The camera tricks are great, and I also like that he injects a little bit of fantasy into his films. Most early films are boring because their subjects are so mundane. Melies wasn't afraid to be a little weird.
