This vampire film is highly unconventional. It is not scary for highly suspenseful due to the basic lack of dialogue. It highly resembles a silent film because it mostly has music. Since this film was made in (Denmark?), the cast doesn't speak English, but occasionally there are no subtitles for their lines. However, that will never prevent you from keeping track of the film. It is just as easy as watching silent films (which are easy to follow and have made me an avid fan).
Secondly, there is virtually no plot (or action, for that matter). It is fairly suspenseful, dreamy, and slow. The action builds up toward the end (from the funeral scene on). It is only 72 minutes long, so it isn't unwatchable, but the blood transfusion scene should have been cut from the film (it only adds more time). A serious horror (or classic) film buff will enjoy it. But, you may want to stop the movie for a minute or two, occasionally because it will probably make you feel like you're dreaming. It is gorgeous to look at (particularly the perpetually misty outdoors that always resemble most a foggy dawn). The acting is all right, but the non-victimized daughter of the Lord of the Manor is somewhat broad and unusual.
