Acerca desta película

With Vampyr, Danish filmmaker Carl Theodor Dreyer channeled his genius for creating mesmerizing atmosphere and austere, unsettling imagery into the horror genre. The result—a chilling film about a student of the occult who encounters supernatural haunts and local evildoers in a village outside of Paris—is nearly unclassifiable. A host of stunning camera and editing tricks and densely layered sounds create a mood of dreamlike terror. With its roiling fogs, ominous scythes, and foreboding echoes, Vampyr is one of cinema’s great nightmares.

The story is basic and simple, but the special effects are amazing considering this film was done in 1932. How did ghost and shadow people happen? No green screen and CGI back then. The acting was decent for people essentially brought in off the streets. If you're digging your way through classic/old-time horror films, this is definitely one to watch.

Fantastic. Though I shouldn't have to pay 13 bucks to watch a movie more than 80 years old. Wait for a sale

A most unsettling masterful horror film!
