Yes but that does not mean the concept is wrong just that the execution of it might have been horrible.

The problem is to get it right you would need the money spent on good SFX to make it look good but at the same time you would need an intelligent script that allowed good actors to express the thoughts, fears and incomprehension that real 19th century people would express. It would be pointless if the actors just behaved and expressed attitudes of 20th or 21st century people wearing period costume. Therefore while the images would be important the whole project would live or die based on the quality of its writing.
