"Dream of a Rarebit Fiend" is a 7-minute black-and-white film from over 100 years ago. Wallace McCutcheon, Edwin S. Porter (especially) and Winsor McCay (mostly animation) belonged to the best film had to offer these days back then, so you could certainly expect something here. However, the final result is slightly underwhelming. We follow the Rarebit Fiend, played by Jack Brawn, and witness what he experiences after he had slightly more than one drink too many. However, I must say, the absurdities displayed in here made me think that it may not only have been alcohol that he consumed. All in all, not one of the best films of its era and I cannot recommend the watch. Thumbs down. The only reason to watch this I can think of is maybe for how weird it is.
