Again, a cheat today. There really isn’t much overt ‘monster’ action in Carl Dreyer’s Vampyr, but man, if you want mood and atmosphere this is the flick for you. The sequence where the immobile hero helplessly watches as he’s carried in a coffin to the cemetery is a classic. Available via the Criterion Collection. Especially if you haven’t seen it, add it to your list, and watch it at night with the lights off (and not while looking at your phone).
