Movie: VAMPYR DVD

With Vampyr, Danish filmmaker Carl Theodor Dreyer's brilliance at achieving mesmerizing atmosphere and austere, profoundly unsettling imagery was for once applied to the horror genre. Yet the result--concerning an occult student assailed by various supernatural haunts and local evildoers at an inn 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. SPECIAL EDITION DOUBLE-DISC SET FEATURES restored high-definition digital transfer Audio commentary, Carl Th. Dreyer (1966), a documentary by Jrgen Roos chronicling Dreyer's career; lots more.
