I am curious to hear more about this movie. To those that have seen it, does it technically count as German 'Expressionism'? I'm used to the thinking that all German horror films of the 1920-26 period...

There's really nothing I would count as Expressionism in INSEL. There are no distorted sets, no low key lighting, no all encompassing sense of doom and madness. The tone of the film is very light...

Ah ok, thanks Henry, sounds like the film is closer to the American product of the time. I did read that imdb review and the comparison to the 40s Monograms is interesting. Also, the description of...

The film is still in copyright in Germany. There have been no VHS or DVD releases, and since the only known print is from an archive, it follows that any copies are illegal dupes. This doesn't really...

Oh, man, I would kill to see DIE INSEL… Worth noting: The monster billed as “the product of the secret workshop” is played by Umberto Guarracino. A year earlier, 1920, he was The Monster in the...

PhantomXCV is on the button.If it were up to me, everyone would have a copy. I will report here if the ban is ever lifted. No not expressionistic what so ever.

I can certainly understand the guy's concerns; but if it weren't for people who snuck their video cameras into film archives, the fans wouldn't have copies of THE MONKEY TALKS, ALRAUNE, NIGHT LIFE OF...

I quite agree, plus I think films are more likely to survive when there is more than one copy about. The notion of just one copy in one film collection is terrifying. All it takes is one fire!

Don't worry. It's safe. Maybe it will be at the Monster Bash again. Reserve you hotel rooms for 2015!
