Vampyr (1932)
A very appreciated nom. This is the type of unique and cinematically import film that I'm glad was nominated. I wish I could say I liked it, but closer to the truth to say I just appreciated it.
It was interesting to watch and I do love me a good early 1930s film. I even dig silent movies. We had a Pre 1930s countdown here at MoFo so I watched a lot of silent films for that. And yeah this isn't a silent film exactly, but it's sure constructed like one...title cards and all.
To me this felt like an experimental film as the shooting technique was way cool with many inventive shots, but the overall narrative of the film didn't do much for me and felt more of an outline as the story itself seemed to be lacking. The coffin scene with our main hero was the most creepiest shot. I especially liked the drilling of air holes into the coffin...Yikes
