"Once he was on the bridge, the ghosts came to meet him”. That is how young Allan Gray’s strange adventure begins. Alone, in a foreign country (perhaps a dream, perhaps his unconscious), immersed in an eternal twilight, he will have to face evil signals, ambiguous shadows, mysterious deaths, indecipherable characters to defeat the occult, invisible vampire and to return to light and love.

Shot by Dreyer in the aftermath of his masterpiece THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC and after the advent of sound, inspired by Sheridan Le Fanu’s novellas, VAMPYR is a horror film, a fantastic film, a film made of mists, of luminescence, of few words, of terrifying noises.
