Vampyr [Region Free] - DVD - New

Description: With Vampyr, Danish filmmaker Carl Theodor Dreyer channelled his genius for creating mesmerising atmosphere and austere, unsettling imagery into the horror genre. The result a chilling film about a student of the occult who encounters supernatural haunts and local evildoers in a village outside Paris is nearly unclassifiable. A host of stunning camera and editing tricks and densely layered sounds creates a mood of dreamlike terror. With its roiling fogs, ominous scythes, and foreboding echoes, Vampyr is one of cinema's greatest nightmares.BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES- High-definition digital transfer of the original German version of the film, from the 1998 restoration by Martin Koerber and the Cineteca di Bologna, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack- Alternate version with English text- Audio commentary featuring film scholar Tony Rayns- Carl Th.
