The audience lives over again the scenes through the victims

A picture that holds one almost enthralled by the horror it suggests. It purports to be a reproduction of the awful Wyoming Valley massacre, and the scenes are bad enough without the play of the imagination. But that helps to make it worse, and the audience lives over again the scenes through which the victims of the massacre passed. One shudders again and again, and even while admitting the fascination of the picture one is glad when it is finished and something else appears, even though it may be an indifferent vaudeville act. This is not a criticism of the picture. It is a tribute. When a film carries such an influence one cannot question its strength. - The Moving Picture World, May 21, 1910
