Fucking awesome. I remember seeing this film back in the 1960s, and it scared me. I was just a kid. It was so far ahead of its time, it belongs in the same stable with the Virgin Spring. Fantastic visualization.

Very cool, the B&W imagery sets the period, and the mood! Well done!

Nice editing. I've never been a fan of 'Filter' but I think the song melded well with the emotion of the video.

Nice video. The story is an undeniable masterpiece, absolutely heartbreaking stuff from one of America's most nihilistic writers (Cormac McCarthy could take lessons even). It's too bad this is the only Bierce story that gets a lot of attention, his other civil war stories are also great, if depressing. No one explains the horror and tragedy of the civil war in prose better than Ambrose Bierce.
