Vampyr is a 1932 horror film by director Carl Theodor Dreyer (The Passion of Joan of Arc) that tells the story of a wandering traveller who comes upon an desolate house. Here and at a neighboring castle, he meets up with an odd assortment of people, some who appear to be real and some imagined or maybe even something else. The movie is painfully boring, but that is not to say it isn't impressive. The way the film was shot, with some trick photography and grainy appearance, adds a dimension to the film that was not standard in 1932. It would be hard for me to recommend this to anyone who isn't completely infatuated with film and how it has evolved. If you're looking for a better story, watch Nosferatu, which to this day, despite being made over 90 years ago, resonates very loudly and in my opinion, is the benchmark for all vampire films.
Most people I know do not care about knowing the truth or facts, they only care about being the one who passes along information. I wonder if I could privately ask people why they use social media (honestly), what their reason would be. I don't think people without a sense of humor, realize how much fun the world can be. Even during the hard times. So many of us spend time thinking of mistakes and regrets, but if we really think about it, we've probably dodged more bullets than missed boats. You know when you sit by yourself reading, sipping some coffee or tea and you don't think about anything, but what you're doing? That!
