Hævnens Nat is the second film, that Benjamin Christensen made. His first film Det Hemmelighedsfulde X, had a very innovative camera-style. And Hævnens Nat continues in the same path. The story in this film is even better than in the first one, and its remarkable that Christensen doesn't use a lot of inter titles as in many of other films of that time. The camera movements in this film is, yet again, fabulous, and there is a really nice shot where a camera rolls backwards from a window. In this film we get a lot to know about the persons psychological background, which we did not get anything of in Benjamins first film. Its not a big question why this movie became such a big success back in 1915-1916!
