Just rented the Criterion copy at my library...Wow wow wow - the lighting, shadows, surrealistic nightmarish quality is just superb - and what an appropriate time of the year to be watching it - HAPPY HAUNTINGS - can't wait to watch it again along with the commentary, etc......THANKS CARL DREYER FOR THIS GEM!
Love, love, love this movie - this gorgeous oddity. I wonder why Dreyer even bothered to make it a talkie? It would have worked just fine as a silent. I guess everyone was dying to make use of the new technology, but didn't yet quite know how to put it to good use...
Interesting example of the old special effects, effective and imaginative. Vampyr sequence, the first sound film by Carl Theodor Dreyer.
Do you remember Francis Forcopola Dracula? Good directors know how to drink from the best sources, but most viewers have not tested

yo la habría colgado desde el momento en el que la sombra se cuela por la ventana y sube las escaleras, pero igualmente, gracias! :D

Fantastic environment, shadows and tricks. Dead souls having fun, stopped by another living dead, the old Vampyre. "Ruhe!!!" Excellent.
