The Avenging Conscience

 This was a pretty cool D.W. Griffith movie. It's obviously influenced by Edgar Allan Poe and it doesn't hide this but embraces it. It starts out as a generic love story. But once the man murders someone it becomes a creepy movie. The character descends into madness. SPOILERS: I didn't care much for the ending. It does the it was all a dream bit.  I didn't think it was necessary seeing as how the character's likability was completely gone once he committed murder. I felt this movie showed a more versatile side to director D. W. Griffith.
