    It'll keep you on the edge of your seat

    This was not the only film like this that D.W. Griffith made, as he later made a very similar one with the Gish sisters in similar straights. Regardless, it is very exciting and holds up well today.

    The film begins with a husband being lured from his home by some evil thieves. As soon as he's gone, the crooks break in and the wife takes her three daughters (one is Mary Pickford) into an adjoining room to safety. There she barricades the door against the three scum-bags. Just then, the husband calls and the wife tells him of their plight--and he rushes home to try to save them. Will he be too late? This is a very, very simple plot and works effectively. The acting is reasonable and the action exciting. A very good film for its day.

    Decent Short Melodrama

    This is a decent short drama that creates some fairly good suspense with a story of a mother and her children being attacked by a gang of deceitful and brutal thieves. For its time, the story is told pretty well, shifting scenes at times to heighten the suspense. It does get a bit choppy in places, and things don't always fit together smoothly, whether due to the editing or perhaps simply due to its age. (It just doesn't seem to be as carefully pieced together as many of Griffith's short films.) But it's all watchable, and the story makes you want to find out what will happen. It should be interesting enough for anyone who likes these early short melodramas. A young Mary Pickford also has a small role.

    Griffith's early real time thriller with editorial techniques of new proportions.

    The Lonely Villa (1909) : Brief Review -

    Griffith's early real time thriller with editorial techniques of new proportions. This is how suspense would have felt in 1909, and Yes it's still thrilling and intense for today's time. In the meantime, it reminded of many one-room thrillers or one-place thrillers made in 40s decade where the survival of people or the lead characters was at stake. What do we call it now, a Survival drama? It was Survival thriller i guess. The Lonely Villa is about a gang of thieves who lure a man out of his home so that they can rob it and threaten his wife and children. The family barricade themselves in an interior room, but the criminals are well-equipped for breaking in. When the father finds out what is happening, he must race against time to get back home. It wasn't much about acting, writting and dialogues in that time and The Lonely Villa is no different. Cinema was preparing to get rolled by inventing new techniques of filmmaking instead of focusing on screenplay and storytelling. DW Griffith does exactly what was needed for the time as he successfully invents cross cutting edits of the scenes while some of them were fastly moving. Apart from that, he keeps the audience guessing on what should happen in the end assuming the certain predictable Happy ending but how should it come on screen was a major invention by him. Those tight thrillers made after 30s and 40s in one room or at one place were highly influenced by The Lonely Villa. Basically, it was a beginning of this new genre, doesn't matter if it was shorter but it gave a hope to new kind of cinema and that's a great achievement in cinema history. Overall, The Lonely Villa is another gambling attempt won by cinematic genius DW Griffith just like he always did.

    RATING - 7/10*

    Not as suspenseful anymore

    Watching this movie today, it's one that's more interesting than it is entertaining. In addition to being an early piece of cinema (and one that uses editing to some extent), this is also the earliest surviving movie with Mary Pickford, and maybe natural place to start if you want to explore her career. She plays the damsel in distress, and, well, you can't fault her performance as it leaves little doubt that that's what she is.

    I'm sure this was a thrilling watch back in the day, and I hope there are some written accounts of how the audience reacted to it. It's obvious that the suspense is there, but only temporary accounts can tell if it worked as intended.

    From the moment the picture starts all is expectancy

    "Thank God, they're saved!" said a woman behind us at the conclusion of the Biograph film bearing the above title. Just like this woman, the entire audience were in a state of intense excitement as this picture was being shown. And no wonder, for it is one of the most adroitly managed bits of bloodless film drama that we have seen. From the moment the picture starts all is expectancy. Indeed, when we saw the picture at Fourteenth street, the house literally "rose" at the story, it is so closely, effectively and convincingly told. As good a piece of sharp, rapid, decisive, dramatic work as we have seen. As is usual nowadays, with all Biograph stories, and the Biograph Company certainly have the art of getting hold of good stories, this one is finely photographed. The acting, too, is of a high order. The villains are villainous, the husband very realistic in his agony, especially at the telephone, whilst the Biograph heroine is as handsome and graceful as ever. We really felt inclined to kick that burglar man for so unceremoniously stripping the jewels from this fair lady's neck. "Lonely Villa" is another Biograph success. – The Moving Picture World, June 19, 1909

      During the shot of the father leaving the hotel, a dip can be seen in the road in the background. Today, that is currently the exit for the George Washington Bridge, and the location of the hotel is now an apartment complex.
