The Spiders - The Golden Lake review

An early adventure movie from Fritz Lang featuring Kay Hoog, a dashing adventurer who bears more than a passing resemblance to Indiana Jones, and who was originally to be the hero of a series of four movies, only two of which were ever made. Hoog, as played by Carl de Vogt, is something of a solemn character lacking in dynamism, but he's locked in a pleasingly involving battle with the sinister Die Spinnen organisation in his search for a hoard of Inca gold. The film takes itself a little too seriously on occasion for what is essentially a Boys Own story, but Lang keeps it clipping along at a fast enough pace to keep his audience entertained.

A rough and tumble action/adventure

This film has an enormous amount of action and adventure in it. Characters are jumping from one country to the next in the matter of minutes. There is hardly a dull moment. My only problem with this film is that it seems to jump around too fast. One episode is barely finished, and boom, you're zapped to another location. If this movie had not been made in 1919, I would swear it had copied MTV's jump cut style. All in all, The Spiders, is a good introduction in the silent film adventure genre.
