'The Four Troublesome Heads (1898)' is, essentially, an experiment in special effects. It's basically a magician's trick that's only possible through the medium of film. Though some of its visuals are expectedly a little wonky, it's mostly an impressively convincing example of extremely early visual effects. It's hard to believe it came out 100 years prior to my own birth; its techniques are still being used today, albeit in a slightly more advanced form. It's a really entertaining experience. There isn't all that much to it, but it still manages to inspire wonder even all these years later. It's the sort of thing that puts a smile on your face and keeps it there. It's an incredibly inventive, effortlessly enjoyable and certifiably charming little short. 8/10.
