The premise
Allan Gray, a young man fascinated by the supernatural, goes to a small village where he feels a sinister force descending upon him. There, Allan meets an old man who asks him to protect his two daughters, for one of them has been bitten by a vampire.
Horror Vault's take
A solitary traveler with a fascination for the occult arrives in a fog-shrouded village and finds himself drawn into a waking nightmare he cannot easily escape. When a desperate stranger begs him to protect his daughters from an unseen evil, Allan Gray is pulled deeper into a world where the boundary between dream and reality dissolves entirely. Carl Theodor Dreyer's 1932 masterwork renders vampiric dread not through shock but through hypnotic, ghostly imagery that burrows under the skin. Few horror films before or since have made evil feel so suffocatingly close yet so impossible to grasp.
