Well...I guess I just don't quite get Carl Theodor Dreyer's fame.  I wasn't much impressed with his PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC and I wasn't too impressed with this spook story either.  The man, for the time, had a good eye and projected eerie visuals onto his film...but VAMPYR just seems to meander along without direction or purpose, and the fact that this was his first non-silent film...is obvious.  There is hardly any dialogue so the story is told through walking, seeing, and making faces...and it is simply odd.
