Conscience

About This Movie

Conscience (1917) is an intriguing blend of drama and supernatural themes. Directed by Bertram Bracken, it explores the moral complexities of human existence through the lens of reincarnation and divine judgment. The plot intricately weaves the story of Ruth Somers, who embodies Serama, the fallen consort of Lucifer. The atmosphere is heavy with a sense of spiritual conflict, especially as Conscience, personified, navigates the intricacies of human souls. The pacing can feel slow at times, but it allows for a deeper exploration of each character's inner turmoil. Practical effects given the era are quite fascinating, and the performances – particularly from the lead – bring a palpable intensity to the narrative. It’s a distinct film that provides a window into early 20th-century beliefs about morality and the afterlife.
