Inhalt: |
With Vampyr, Danish fiImmaker CarI Theodor Dreyer's brilIiance at achieving mesmerizing atmosphere and austere, profoundIy unsettling imagery (as in The Passion of Joan of Arc and Day of Wrath) was for once appIied to the horror genre. Yet the result-concerning an occuIt student assaiIed by various supernaturaI haunts and locaI evildoers at an inn outside Paris-is nearly uncIassifiable, a host of stunning camera and editing tricks and denseIy layered sounds creating a mood of dreamIike terror. With its roiling fogs, ominous scythes, and foreboding echoes, Vampyr is one of cinema's great nightmares. |
