"Vampyr - Der Traum des Allan Grey" (1932) directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer.
Dreyer reportedly told his cameraman, "Imagine we are sitting in an ordinary room. Suddenly we are told that there is a corpse behind the door. In an instant, the room we are sitting in is completely altered: everything in it has taken on another level; the light, the atmosphere have changed, though they are physically the same. This is because we have changed... This is the effect I want to get."

Was this music composed specifically for this movie? It's synced up so well. Or is this just a coincidence like "Dark Side of Oz?"
