Summary:
A student of the Occult, Allan Gray, is travelling in France when he arrives at the remote village of Courtempierre. Whilst staying at an inn, he is visited by an old man who gives him a parcel, not to be opened until after his death. Some mysterious shadows lead Gray to an isolated castle in which lives the old man he met at the inn, with his two young daughters, Gisèle and Léone. The latter is seriously ill, but no one knows the cause of her sickness. The old man suddenly dies, prompting Gray to open the parcel. He discovers an ancient book recounting a tale about vampires...

Vampyr was shot as a silent film, but just before its release Dreyer added a soundtrack which included some sparse (and pretty superfluous) dialogue.

Today, Vampyr is almost universally regarded as a masterpiece, and certainly one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of fantasy horror films. Yet when it was first released in 1932, the film was a commercial failure, virtually ruining its director and preventing him from making any further films for a decade.

What makes Vampyr unique as a horror film is that it genuinely does feel like a dream. It has the unsettlingly partial reality of a dream - that curious mix of the familiar and the surreal, with that hazy border between the two. There’s that sense of disconnection that we only ever experience in dreams, of things not quite joining up. And there’s the awareness of the unknown - glimpses of strange images mirroring what lies buried deep within our subconscious - true horror, unfettered, unknown, and utterly terrifying. Vampyr is indeed the stuff of dreams - or rather, nightmares...
