This story is about the strange adventures of young Allan Gray. His studies of devil worship and vampire terror of earlier centuries have made him a dreamer, for whom the boundary between the real and the unreal has become dim.


Young traveller Allan Gray arrives in a remote castle and starts seeing weird, inexplicable sights (a man whose shadow has a life of its own, a mysterious scythe-bearing figure tolling a bell, a terrifying dream of his own burial). Things come to a head when one of the daughters of the lord of the castle succumbs to anaemia - or is it something more sinister? (http://imdb.com/title/tt0023649/plotsummary)


Dreyer became a journalist in 1910, and entered films as a title writer, then scriptwriter and eventually director. His first film showed little promise or talent, he found his mature style very quickly, and by the late 1920s he was hailed as the greatest director ever to emerge from Danish cinema. But his reputation as an artist was matched by his reputation as a fanatical perfectionist, and his career was dogged by problems with the financing of his films, which led to large gaps in his output - and after the critics, too, denounced Vampyr - Der Traum des Allan Grey (1932), he returned to journalism in 1932, (http://imdb.com/name/nm0003433/bio)


"If by "poor quality," the reference is to the washed out, somewhat spotty look of the print, please be aware that this was deliberate. Cinematographer Matté had accidently opened a can of exposed film, and when Dreyer saw the result, he was delighted. It was just the effect he had been looking for.
"Vampyr" was originally shot as a silent. It was only later half-dubbed with voice-overs. Again, however, like the fortuitous "damage" to the print, the sparse and somewhat vague, even incoherent, dialogue contributes to the sense of dislocation which, I believe, is one of the great virtues of this genre masterpiece.
Like many, the first time I saw "Vampyr" I was put off by its obscurity and, yes, the "mutilated" video and audio. But as I saw more Dreyer and learned to stop trying to deconstruct the thing, I really began to like it. Now, I love it. If your first viewing of "Vampyr" leaves you the way it left me the first time, don't give up on it. It's on video, so buy a copy and pick your moments to watch it. You'll be rewarded."

"I just bought Vampyr on dvd and it is indeed a very good movie. But on the image entertainment dvd I bought the subtitles are not selectable (I can't deselect them even though it's a dvd!), and they are written with really bad looking old letters filling out most of the screen which is really annoying if you understand the german and danish spoken in the movie."..(http://imdb.com/title/tt0023649/board/nest/36545286)
"On close inspection it seems that the enourmous black slabs of subtitling are there to cover up subtitling thats on the negative of the movie itself, probably in a non-english language. I agree it is a shame and quite detracts from the movie itself.".(http://imdb.com/title/tt0023649/board/nest/36545286)
