Vampyric communities in German-speaking European countries tend to adhere quite strictly to the tradition of referring to real living vampires who consume human blood as vampyres written with an ‘y’ while the spelling of vampire’ with an 'i’ is reserved for the fictional vampire, roleplayers or vampire lifestylers. Quite the opposite seems to be true for many international real vampire communities where the anachronistic way of writing is more associated with the lifestyle elements of the community.

Vampyr (German: Vampyr – Der Traum des Allan Gray, lit. 'Vampyr: The Dream of Allan Gray') is a 1932 horror film directed by Danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer. The film was written by Dreyer and Christen Jul based on elements from J. Sheridan Le Fanu's 1872 collection of supernatural stories In a Glass Darkly. Vampyr was funded by Nicolas de Gunzburg who starred in the film under the name of Julian West among a mostly non-professional cast. Gunzburg plays the role of Allan Gray, a student of the occult who enters the village of Courtempierre, which is under the curse of a vampire.

👻 You can support or commission me on Ko-Fi! ❤️

English Title: Vampyr: The Dream of Allan Gray Source Material: In a Glass Darkly by Sheridan Le Fanu Year: 1932 Genre: Vampires, Gothic Rating: UR (Recommended: PG) Country of Origin: Germany Language: German Runtime: 1 hour 15 minutes

Director: Carl Theodor Dreyer Cinematographer: Rudolph Maté Editors: Tonka Taldy, Carl Theodor Dreyer Writers: Christen Jul, Carl Theodor Dreyer Composer: Wolfgang Zeller Cast: Nicolas de Gunzburg, Sybille Schmitz, Jan Hieronimko, Henriette Gérard, Maurice Schutz

Plot: A man must save two young women from a vampire’s curse.

Review: Vampyr boasts striking visuals, a noteworthy experimental style, and interesting lore, but falls short in terms of plot and characters.

Overall Rating: 3/5

Story: 2.5/5 - Bare-bones and not entirely linear, it works best when viewed as a dream. Unfortunately, too much time is dedicated to making the audience read lore written on screen and not enough on characterization and the actual monster.

Performances: 3.5/5 - Schmitz creates one of the most unsettling shots of the film without a word, and the rest of the cast is surprisingly strong for nonprofessional actors.

Cinematography: 4.5/5 - Fantastic camerawork, framing, and use of shadow.

Editing: 3/5 - Purposefully disjointed with varying degrees of success.

Music: 3/5 - Serviceable, though not terribly memorable.

Effects: 4/5 - Really creative shadow effects and use of multiple exposure.

Sets: 4.5/5 - Varied and rich. The film was entirely shot on location to its benefit.

Costumes & Make-Up: 4/5

Trigger Warnings:

Very mild violence
