The Frontier Child (1912) watch online HD

A very desirable, two-reel Indian picture with the interest largely centered in a winsome little girl, daughter of a trapper. The child happens to be left alone in the 1og cabin by her mother who goes to visit a sick friend across the hills The father, looking after his crops, has had an altercation with an Indian and before he can get home, the whole tribe is out on the warpath. The picture is desirable, because the action is thrilling throughout both reels. It is not a one-reel picture padded into 2,000 feet of film; but a bona fide big feature picture. It is breathlessly dramatic and. though not a single situation picture, the center is kept fairly close to the little log cabin all the time. The photography is of a quality that could hardly be improved and renders the commotion and dread, scattered over a big country, it seems, by the horde of reds that descends upon it very stirringly. At the end, we should have been shown the Indians, not only beaten at the fort, but driven out of the valley, because the cabin seems still unprotected after all that nightmare. The picture is so big and thrilling that that is the only criticism we care to make on it. It is a sure winner. - The Moving Picture World, September 21, 1912
