  Magick Lantern Cycle 2009

  ★★★★★ Watched 07 Mar 2025

  "Lucifer is the patron saint of the visual arts. Color, form--all these are the work of Lucifer."
  - Kenneth Anger

  I finally finished watching this. I haven't written a review in a while. However, I would be doing this a disservice if I didn't share a bit about my thoughts.

  Electrocuting an Elephant 1903

  ½ Watched 29 Sep 2024

  Probably the worst minute I've spent watching something, ever. Electrocuting an Elephant (1903) is the first snuff film ever invented, featuring an innocent elephant being electrocuted by 6,600 volts, killing it with smoke rising from its body, as a means of promoting the opening of Luna Park, making it the first ever trace of real-world violence on camera, ever.

  This film did nothing for me but show me the absolutely disgusting animals humans can be.

  Disgusting. Foul. I will never be watching this again, but it will be in the back of my mind, sadly, always reminding me that shit like this exists in the world.
