"Vampyr"
1931
Directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer

Vampyr tells with extraordinary images the nightmarish story of a young man who unwittingly becomes involved with two sisters and their father, all victims of a vampire. Dreyer has transformed LeFanu's horror tale Camilla into an abstract meditation on the theme of death, and his brilliant use of shadow, light, camera movement and settings are as unnerving today as they were upon this sinister film's release 70 years ago. This version is beautifully mastered from a 35mm archive print. "Among the masterpieces of the horror film…" (Carlos Clarens, An Illustrated History of the Horror Film). German with English subtitles.  75 minutes.
