Perhaps the first Science Fiction feature film in the UK, the 1913 re-imagining of A Christmas Carol is a silent film that explores the cold dead heart of a selfish man as it's re-heated. Perhaps influenced by the early Social Issues films that were popping up both in the US and UK, and most likely influencing them, it's a film with a soul and a lot of what we look for when we watch early silents.
