Quote: "It's easy to see why Hayakawa had such success in the silent era. There's a remarkable, compelling intensity in his visage. He radiates strength when on the screen, and manages to keep the histrionics to a minimum."

Quote: "If you're curious, it is a whole lot of fun to see Harry Houdini in a silent movie. While The Man From Beyond will be remembered for little else than some great escapes, it is a chance to stare at the world-famous magician. The 'Super Restoration Series' is a great find, releasing titles with great care taken in making sure they are complete and clear. There's certainly nothing to complain about. The film is almost a hundred years old, and it remains a curiosity simply because of one man's name."

Quote: "Everyone told her it was career suicide, but the girl with the black helmet hair found the vehicle that elevated her from everyone's favorite flapper to immortal screen legend. The film stands out even today as a daringly dark, psychosexual journey which features incestuous love triangles, murder, prostitution, lesbians, and even Jack the Ripper bedding the heroine."
