In a role that established him as one of the most dynamically terrifying performers of the silent era, Lon Chaney stars in The Penalty (1920), a grotesque thriller from director Wallace Worsley (The Hunchback of Notre Dame).

When an incompetent doctor amputates the legs of a young boy, he has no idea that the youth will grow up to be the immoral and embittered Blizzard, a criminal mastermind who orchestrates a bizarre and heinous plot to avenge himself upon his malefactor.

A special screening with a new digital restoration by Lobster Films, Paris with live piano accompaniment.
