  • Fair for Its Day: While its depiction of modern "hysterical" women hasn't aged well, the intention was to point out that people with mental problems need to be cared for and treated, not demonised and locked away.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: There are many images in the movie that are quite disturbing.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: In 1922 the height of visual effects were stop motion, double exposure and running the film backwards, but the movie really uses them well.
