About
You may like Vampyr if you enjoy eerie, dreamlike horror that leans on atmosphere and strange imagery more than action; Not for you if you want a fast, clear story, but fans of Nosferatu or The Innocents may appreciate its mood.
Pros: eerie atmosphere; haunting visuals; spare dialogue | Cons: slow pace; thin story; confusing moments
