A closer look
Watching a hundred-year-old silent movie usually feels like eating unflavored oatmeal, unless you introduce a massive wall of deafening guitar amplifiers. Boutique cinemas realized they could resurrect dead media by completely abandoning historical accuracy and letting doom metal bands shred heavily over German expressionist cinema. Watching a creepy bald vampire stalk a plague-ridden ship to the sound of distorted electric guitars turns a stuffy cinematic history lesson into a genuinely terrifying, adrenaline-fueled concert experience.
