A stunningly photographed tale of horror, beautifully capturing an aura of fear and otherwordly menace.
A young man stops at an inn, and discovers the village is rife with strange goings-on... murders, sudden illnesses, and weird skulking creatures. Then a doctor asks him to help a desperately sick girl by donating blood, and before long, the weakened wayfarer is lost in hallucinations, imagining himself buried alive... or could it be real?

Title NoteA silent film. Distributor NoteWith Vampyr, Danish filmmaker Carl Theodor Dreyer's brilliance at achieving mesmerizing atmosphere and austere, profoundly unsettling imagery (The Passion of Joan of Arc and Day of Wrath) was for once applied to the horror genre. Yet the result—concerning an occult student assailed by various supernatural haunts and local evildoers in a village outside Paris—is nearly unclassifiable, a host of stunning camera and editing tricks and densely layered sounds creating a mood of dreamlike terror. With its roiling fogs, ominous scythes, and foreboding echoes, Vampyr is one of cinema's great nightmares. Release NoteDVD Features: DVD Features: Product NotesDreyer's chiaroscuric adaptation of Le Fanu's "Carmilla" follows the harrowing tale of a young man caught up with a dreamlike vampire and her infected family. An early, often astounding horror classic. AKA: "Castle of Doom," "Not Against the Flesh," "The Strange Adventure of David Gray" and "The Vampire."
