[The film conjures] inexplicable dread, on a night that feels brighter than day.

Vampyr is Dreyer's most radical film -- maybe one of my dozen favorite movies by any director.
J. Hoberman, Village Voice

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.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

With the help of Rudolph Mate's luminous photography, Dreyer creates a film of great beauty.
