Product Description
One of the great films of the silent era. It's set on New Year's Eve, when three drunkards evoke the legend of the phantom carriage, which tells that the last person to die in the year, if he is a great sinner, will spend the following year driving the carriage that picks up the souls of the dead. One of the three men, David Holm, played by Sjostrom himself, dies at the very last stroke of midnight... With magical special effects, Sjostrom evokes a world of shadows and crafts a tale of repentance and a love wasted through alcohol. Limited Edition release with soundtrack by KTL; Specially created artwork by Stephen O'Malley; Film notes by the Quay Brothers.

Synopsis
Classic silent horror THE PHANTOM CARRIAGE takes as its premise the legend that anyone who dies on New Years Eve is condemned to drive the coach of death for all of the following year. This edition features an intense new soundtrack recorded exclusively by leading sonic innovators KTL.

5.0 out of 5 stars Swede Emotion, 25 Feb 2008
By Brett L. Stewart "brettstew" (St.Peter Port) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Wonderful, if dark, film.Similar to Dickens' A Christmas Carol is some respects - an awful individual shown the error of his ways and forced to confront his demons.Full of rich and sinister imagery, The Phantom Carriage is a compulsive watch, as the lead characters life is unravelled.The soundtrack by KTL deserves a special mention as it contemplates the film superbly with haunting authority.It'd be nice if the soundtrack was available separately.To top things off KTL's Stephen O'Malley has designed a rather excellent DVD sleeve.I cannot recommend this KTL edition enough.One complaint however, the subtitiles in the last 15 mins only flash up on the screen breifly, blink and you miss them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Clear Print But Somewhat Jerky Motion, 4 Jul 2008
By G. Ratcheson (Washington) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Phantom Carriage (Sjostrom) & The Image Makers (Bergman) [DVD] [1921] (DVD)
This review is of the orchestral 2 disc edition.

The title of my review pretty much says it all. The print is quite clear & watchable, but there is a moderate jerkiness in the entire film to motion that looks like somehow a percentage of frames was dropped in the original mastering process, or perhaps the transfer started out as NTSC (though I have no idea why that would be) & there was a poor NTSC to PAL conversion. The bit rate is quite high, that's not the problem.

If anyone has info on this, I'd appreciate your sharing it.

Fine film.

5.0 out of 5 stars The KTL edition is fine and powerful stuff, 21 Mar 2008
By DH Dixon "whitespeck" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A fine classic silent film is given a powerful and compelling music score by KTL that enhances the film's power and spookiness. I haven't seen the orchestral version yet but on the strength of this edition I would recommend this one first. Notice that the reviewer who prefers the orchestral edition only gives it four stars. The KTL edition is eaily a five star one.
