Vampyr (Carl Theodor Dreyer, 1932)

8.5/10
Carl Theodor Dreyer's 1932 vampire tale and his first talkie, although it's practically silent and that only adds to its incredible atmosphere. Beautiful, haunting, and genuinely creepy, it's so easy to get caught up in Dreyer's masterful direction and camera tricks that it's easy to forgive the rather mundane plot.
