So, 'Exhuming London After Midnight' is a fascinating dive into the lore surrounding the 1927 silent film that's eluded so many for decades. The documentary really captures that eerie atmosphere, you know? It unfolds with a kind of reverence for the lost art of cinema, mixing interviews and archival footage. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the mystery. It really feels less like a typical doc and more like a cinematic treasure hunt. Those practical effects from Browning’s era? They’re just haunting. And the way they discuss Chaney's performance—it's all about the shadows, the lurking dread. It’s not just about what we’ve lost, but what might still be out there, which gives it that real collector's vibe.
