IMDb plot summary: A drifter obsessed with the supernatural stumbles upon an inn where a severely ill adolescent girl is slowly becoming a vampire.
Directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer. Starring Julian West, Maurice Schutz, Rena Mandel, and Sybille Schmitz.
I'm a huge fan of early vampire movie Nosferatu and was a little less charmed by this one. I kept being aware of just how very slowly it was moving. It does however have some really nicely unsetting moments. I was particularly struck by the visuals of the shadows not cast by people -- that was always eerie every time. Definitely worth a watch.
