All atmosphere and moody lighting, Vampyr is a different sort of vampire movie.
Less of the monster-movie vibe of a Universal horror, and with more of an emphasis on the gothic setting and horror.
I watched Criterion’s restoration of this, which is an “HD digital transfer of the original German-language version of the film from the 1998 restoration by Martin Koerber and the Cineteca di Bologna.” It was, unsurprisingly, gorgeous.
A strange, dreamy movie and I’m glad to have finally seen it!
