Vampyr

Danish master Carl Theodor Dreyer delivered a poetic masterpiece with this haunting film. A young man's obsession with the supernatural takes him to a terrifying journey. Dreyer's hypnotic film delivers haunting images and atmosphere from the first frame till the last. It was his first sound film which he uses to unexpected effect like anything else from narrative form to use of camera and light. The film hasn't lost its power as the images remain unsettling and dreamy. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
