Movie Night: Vampyr (1932) by The Parallel Cinema Club

There are films, and then there’s Vampyr, the fever dream you didn’t ask for but absolutely needed. It’s like Carl Theodor Dreyer found a fog machine, read half a book about vampires, and said, “Yeah, this’ll do.” The plot? Barely there, but who cares! This movie is all about the vibes—moody shadows, ghostly whispers, and a scythe-wielding creep who looks like he’s late for a Halloween party. It’s 75 minutes of pure atmospheric chaos, and honestly, it feels like you’re watching someone’s nightmare through a very dusty lens.
