4/10
A mixing of ideas. Unimaginatively.
26 March 2021
As several reviewers have described before, Méliès... well, "borrowed" the idea of the serpentine dance from Dickson, and added his trademark goofy (yet awesome) Devil to it. It kinda works ... but mostly not. I'd rather watch Satan jump around a bit more, because let's be honest, it's an inexhaustible source of fun. He is more than capable to light a pillar of fire, there's no need to involve some random conjured woman in the process! Overall, a sloppy copy of a well-known original, clearly an error in the otherwise exceptional legacy.
