We sojourn way back to 1932 for this week’s film, and don’t be fooled: this incredible vampire tale feels eerily real and strangely modern. Perhaps ahead of its time with incredible, sweeping camera work, indelible art direction, and an experimental, dream-like spirit, Tim and Ryan absolutely loved Vampyr. Sinking their teeth deep into the neck of this timeless classic, they couldn’t help but conjure a double “buy it!”
