Plots(1)

Vampyr ranks in many circles as one of the greatest horror films of all time. Inspired by Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla, the story concerns a mysterious series of killings, committed by a crone of a female vampire (Henriette Gerard). The story is told through the eyes of a holiday reveller (Julian West), who at first scoffs at the notion of a supernatural murderer, but who is eventually forced to believe that there are more things in heaven and earth.
