aka Vampyr, ou l'étrange aventure de David Gray. Castle of Doom. Not Against the Flesh. The Strange Adventure of David Gray. The Vampire. David Grey (Julian West), is a young traveller who arrives at a remote village. A village that seems to be entirely populated by strange characters. whilst there Grey starts seeing weird and inexplicable sights, such as a man whose shadow leads an independent life when he sleeps. Then whilst out walking he comes to the aid of the local Lord of the manor who gives Grey a book on Vampires. Could this have anything to do with the Lord's daughter who seems to be ill due to anaemia, or could it be something more sinister?
A tour de force in early horror and surrealistic cinema. The film uses all the tricks available to build the tension, with a poetic set of images creating a disorienting atmosphere.
