Sorcellerie culinaire

I found this to be surprisingly funny.

Starts off funny but loses steam and gets old by the end.

Demons interfere with a man's cooking. Ooooooooooooooookay. Call me a spoiled 21st-century movie buff, but I don't think this is very clever or funny. I appreciate that Melies was one of the O.G. pioneering filmmakers, but I'd rather watch the Sockbaby films again before this or, indeed, most of his other films. STEP DRINK!

Great! A precursor to the 'ole Scooby-Doo hallway-full-of-doors gag.

What's the point in wearing a protective cap, when you have a beard like facehugger?

Melies is the master of trick cuts and here they're front and center. Many of them are nearly seamless. Very impressive and very entertaining.

Clever set-piece by Méliès that would subsequently be redone to death a million times throughout the history of comedic cinema.
