Select two cult films to compare side by side.
The Faker Synopsis
Frank Clayton (Gaston Glass), the worthless disinherited son of a wealthy man, John Clayton (Charles Hill Mailes), hires Hardain (Warner Oland), a phony spiritualist to arranger a fake seance in the hope that a fabricated message from his late mother will change his father's mind. Complications soon arise.
A Sister to Salome Synopsis
When famous opera singer Elinore Duane undergoes an operation on her throat, she has a series of ether-induced visions. In one, she is transported to ancient Rome where she appears as a much-admired woman in love with Paul, a young heretic, and at odds with Lutor, the high priest. To save her love, she poisons Lutor with her ring. After several other visions which involve variations on this love triangle, Elinore awakens to discover that Lutor is actually her doctor, Sascha Jaccard, and that Paul is the son of a friend who has come to visit the recovering prima donna.
"The Faker" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
