Vampyr
1932 · TMDB 7.2 · Vampyr - Der Traum des Allan Grey
Directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer
Allan Gray, a young man fascinated by the supernatural, goes to a small village where he feels a sinister force descending upon him. There, Allan meets an old man who asks him to protect his two daughters, for one of them has been bitten by a vampire.
Why it matters
Carl Theodor Dreyer's dreamlike tale of a young man's encounter with the supernatural in a fog-shrouded village. The film's use of diffuse light and disembodied sounds creates a persistent sense of wrongness.
