Vampyr -- Vintage Horror Restored

Scheduled for a big release on July 22, Criterion's revelatory two-disc DVD set of Vampyr is based on a 1998 restoration by Martin Koerber and the Cineteca di Bologna. What was once a confusing puzzle can now be seen as a new direction for the horror film, a slow-moving hallucination filled with bizarre visuals. Vampyr locates the uncanny not in the dark but in pale, powdery whiteness signifying the absence of life-giving blood.
