Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and ominous; themes: fear, supernatural threat, vulnerability; style notes: static camera, high-contrast blue tint, chiaroscuro lighting, expressionist framing

A man in a light shirt is shown in a dim, blue-tinted wooden room, reacting with fear as a tall, dark figure with long fingers appears behind him. The man recoils and falls back as the figure looms over him near a wooden chest.

The record

Published 1922, so any US term has expired; no US registration under this title appears in the catalog. The status is a calculation from the date, not a finding about a record. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
