"In a triumph of the irrational, Dreyer's eerie
memento mori
never allows either protagonist or viewer fully to wake up from its surreal nightmare."
Channel 4 Film
Anton Bitel
4/5
"remarkable for the way that it explored the occult some 76 years ago."
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
B+
"This psychological horror tale, one of the first of its kind, is both unique and beautifully luminous."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
92/100
"
Vampyr
might not be much of a vampire movie, but it's one hell of a horror movie. It creates a sense of unease that few films can compete with, casting viewers into a realm where meanings are elusive and terror lies in every shadow."
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
"Vampyr plays upon many archetypal fears of modern horror (science, doctors, disease, women, insanity, premature burial), but its power lies in its disorienting visual effects."
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Leo Goldsmith
4/5
"
Vampyr
plays like a musty old photo that wakes to jolting life."
Film Threat
Matthew Sorrento
"Dreyer's stunning vampire classic."
Wired
Phil Hall
4/4
"Penetrates deep into the psyche to carry out its menacing, ethereal lurk."
Projection Booth
Rob Humanick
"An early sound film shot with a distinctive and evocative silent film aesthetic,
Vampyr
is a horror movie as tone poem."
Seanax.com
Sean Axmaker
10/10
"Tremendously eerie, even more than 75 years later."
