Vampyr was a French/German film production. Produced and directed by Carl Dreyer. Dreyer's classic film portrays a dreamlike world seen through the eyes of a young man, portrayed by Julien West. This film is very nightmarish, and has a lot of dreamlike sequences. Also, this film is loosely based on Sheridan Le Fanu's classic "Carmilla". The cast is unknown, and, from what i understand, made up from a lot of his friends/supporters. I know, it's slow moving, however, pay close attention to the part where David Gray watches himself being buried alive in a coffin complete with a glass window. What a scene! Sit back, enjoy and, as i, you may have to watch it a couple of times to get the full impact. John R. Tracy
