Vampyr

A nightmarishly strange adaptation of J. Sheridan Le Fanu's Gothic novella Carmilla.

Even more experimental than its predecessor, since the camerawork, cutting, sound, dialogue and overall narrative seem intended to render everything not only profoundly unsettling but ultimately inexplicable. As such the protagonist's experiences at a sinister chateau (the story is based on Le Fanu's Carmilla) are as nightmarishly strange as anything in a Lynch movie; suffused with a pallid, cloudy grey, the world of shadowy beings and deathly visions feels as eerily intangible as it is terrifying.
