Vampyr Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
"Vampyr" is perhaps the most effective and most radical Surrealist movie ever made.
The Film Daily
Film Daily Staff
Director [Karl] Dreyer's directorial handling lifts this into a class by itself.
New York Times
NYT Staff
The scenario was so bad that the author had to excuse it by pretending it was a dream.
Spectrum Culture
David Harris
While it doesn't have the emotional punch of some of his masterworks, it shows a master dabbling in a genre that was outside his comfort zone.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
a masterfully evocative and unsettling horror film
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Dreyer's sublimely arcane hallucination
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Stay with him and you'll be rewarded with one of the more-unusual horror films you'll ever see -- or films of any kind, for that matter.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
[The film conjures] inexplicable dread, on a night that feels brighter than day.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
An often gauzy-gray movie that makes as much use of white as of the traditional horror-movie black, 'Vampyr' is so beautiful to look at, it's hypnotic.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
In psychological effect, beautiful individual shots are contrasted and related one to another as in dreams or emotions rather than logic.
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
Vampyr might not be much of a vampire movie, but it's one hell of a horror movie. It creates a sense of unease that few films can compete with, casting viewers into a realm where meanings are elusive and terror lies in every shadow.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Almost entirely devoid of the outright thrills associated with the genre, while managing to be one of the creepiest, most unsettling movies you're ever likely to see.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
Vampyr is Dreyer's most radical film -- maybe one of my dozen favorite movies by any director.
Film Threat
Matthew Sorrento
Vampyr plays like a musty old photo that wakes to jolting life.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
remarkable for the way that it explored the occult some 76 years ago.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Tremendously eerie, even more than 75 years later.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
If you've never seen a Carl Dreyer film and wonder why many critics, myself included, regard him as possibly the greatest of all filmmakers, this chilling horror fantasy is the perfect place to begin to understand.
Projection Booth
Rob Humanick
Penetrates deep into the psyche to carry out its menacing, ethereal lurk.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Leo Goldsmith
Vampyr plays upon many archetypal fears of modern horror (science, doctors, disease, women, insanity, premature burial), but its power lies in its disorienting visual effects.
