The Writing King Your Ethical Ghostwriter. Your Story, Done Right.

Director: Carl Theodor Dreyer

Carl Theodor Dreyer directed The Passion of Joan of Arc, shot almost entirely in close-up without makeup, and Vampyr, Day of Wrath and Ordet. He made only fourteen features across five decades because financing was so difficult, and each is formally severe in a way almost nothing else in cinema matches.

Characters appear and vanish. Vampyr earns its 8 as the strangest, dreamiest, and most genuinely uncanny vampire film ever made, a 1932 work by the Danish master Carl Theodor Dreyer that abandons plot and logic in favor of pure nightmare.
