- Fair for Its Day: While its depiction of modern "hysterical" women hasn't aged well, the intention was to point out that people with mental illness need to be cared for and treated, not demonised and locked away.
- Narm: Among the creepy and heinous things the Devil is shown doing are assaulting people with garrotes and clubs, dumping a baby in a cooking pot, seducing married women in the dead of night, tempting people to do various sacriligeous things, and...furiously churning butter.
- Visual Effects of Awesome: In 1922 the height of visual effects were stop motion, double exposure and running the film backwards, but the movie really uses them well.
