THE PACE THAT KILLS (1928)

Did you know that exploitation films have existed since the earliest days of filmmaking? Framing films as morality tales enabled filmmakers or get certain content past the censors.

In THE PACE THAT KILLS (1928), we follow a young man from the country to the city as he searches for his sister who has fallen into ill repute. In an effort to keep a pep in his step, a young woman at his job offers him cocaine -- and you can guess where it goes from there.

This may not be the pinnacle of filmmaking, but it sure is a lot of fun. Come and make some noise. Silents are never silent!!
