Vampyr Blu-ray

'Vampyr' Director: Carl Theodor Dreyer (1932) Eureka Masters of Cinema Blu-ray | 2K restoration | German w/ English subtitles

The first foray into sound filmmaking by one of cinema’s pivotal artists, Vampyr remains a cornerstone work of the horror genre.

The dreamlike tale of an occult-obsessed student’s visit to a small French village, as he is drawn into the unsettling mystery around a stricken family’s struggle with malevolent forces, remains an unparalleled evocation of the uncanny.

Adapting the haunted stories of Sheridan Le Fanu, Dreyer’s ceaseless innovation delivers a tour-de-force of supernatural phantasmagoria and creeping unease, via audacious camerawork and sound design.

Special features include:
- Two audio commentaries: one by critic and programmer Tony Rayns; the second by filmmaker and Vampyr fan Guillermo del Toro
- Visual essay by scholar Casper Tybjerg on Dreyer’s Vampyr influences
- New video interview with author and critic Kim Newman on Vampyr's unique place within vampire cinema
- Two new video interviews with music and cultural historian David Huckvale on the film's score and its adaptation of Sheridan Le Fanu
- Carl Th. Dreyer (1966) – a documentary by Jörgen Roos
- Two deleted scenes, removed by the German censor in 1932
