How It Feels to Be Run Over
Directed by Cecil M. Hepworth
Produced by Hepworth Picture Plays
An early cinema novelty that uses the illusion of an oncoming vehicle to create suspense and shock, blending genuine tension with playful audience manipulation.
As the camera looks down an open road, a horse and carriage approaches, and passes by to one side of the field of view. Soon afterwards, an automobile comes up the road, straight towards the camera. As it gets nearer, the occupants start to wave frantically, but can a collision be avoided?
