In 16th-century Prague, the Jewish rabbi Loew creates a giant clay creature —the Golem— to protect his people from persecution. When the creature comes to life and defies its master, tragedy and terror ensue. A landmark of German Expressionism, The Golem is a mesmerizing blend of myth, religion, and early special effects.

💡 Trivia:
Paul Wegener not only directed but also played the Golem himself. The film’s towering sets and lighting influenced Frankenstein (1931) and the entire horror genre.
