It's fairly doubtful that the grimness of Suicide du Colonel Henry might have inspired subsequent horror flicks a la a post-modern alternative, and so it's only really interesting to watch in the knowledge that silent film had a scene of tremendous grue even before Kirsanoff's masterful Menilmontant. In this instance, Melies at least spiced things up a bit.

Wow, a 19th century movie with gore. Still, I'm an American, I'm just not that heavily into this L'Affaire Dreyfus shit. This is getting almost as boring as the obsession of later French filmmakers with the surrender to the Nazis and the Occupation
