Probably one of the most fiercely anti-semitic things I've ever seen. Pretty much flat out portrays the Jews as a powerful black magic cult, continually using the star of David juxtaposed to fearful scenes. Which is strange because it's actually based of Jewish folklore. Anyway, It's a pretty damn good film. By German Expressionists standards, it's quite accessible(May not be the quality of say Dr.Mabuse, but the first film was 5 hours long, and full of details).

I'd say it's quite well plotted, the actual story arc is fairly well thought out. There's some silliness(A child debilitating the golem in the end by tricking him with an apple?), but generally a decent film for those who can stomach films of it's slow, laborious, dated variety, and aren't bothered by it's very strange, and dated, Jewish stereotypes.
