Audience Member Another surreal dream-state film of early cinema but this time from '<i>The Great Train Robbery</i>' director Edwin S. Porter proving that as much of an innovator of editing techniques as he was, he could also provide a rather good standard of cinematographic trickery. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member After reading Windsor McKay's comic I decided to check out the film. Like the comic, it's episodic, random, and near pointless, but fun and imaginative nevertheless. It succeeds in depicting a "rarebit"-induced dream. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Some interesting effects, but nothing that cool to see, visually. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member While the visuals are very good for it's time, overall, not as good as the previous Porter films. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member A short but sweet early cinematic effort, Rarebit Fiend is pretty simple in structure but is filled to the brim with impressive technical effects. Impressive work for its day. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The use of superimpositions here is pretty neat, and it's a comical short.
