A Strange Case

Siles, a wealthy American, devotes all his time to research. When he tests a tincture on himself he discovers his physical appearance has transformed, and that he can transform back with the use of another tincture. Siles decides to take advantage of his transformations and live a double life.

Directed by Max Mack, A Strange Case leans on a strong ensemble — Alwin Neuß, Hanni Weisse, Lotte Neumann — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1914.
