August Blom – Rovedderkoppen AKA The Spider’s Prey (1916)

From the Danish Film Institute website:
The titular villain is an infamous international criminal, Mrs Valentin Kempel, known as “The Predator Spider” due to her habit of ensnaring innocent victims in her web. Men are enchanted by her, and she uses this to coerce them into taking part in her criminal activities. When one of her victims takes his own life, the victim’s brother and a detective decide to put an end to the beautiful criminal’s reign of terror. But The Hunting Spider does not give in so easily – and she is not afraid to use unsporting tricks against her new opponents.

This is a fragment (about 1/3) of a feature film. It is tinted with Dutch intertitles and no score.

Important note: the script was by a young Carl Th. Dreyer!
