and asserts that while the &#8220;picture is slow-paced and has no shocks&#8221; &#8220;even young horror-movie fans should be able to recognize why it is regarded as a classic of the genre.&#8221; He points out &#8220;several startling visual passages&#8221;, including West &#8220;thinking himself a corpse and seeing his own funeral:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vampyr-Looking.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vampyr-Looking.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-71197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vampyr-Looking.png 960w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vampyr-Looking-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vampyr-Looking-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vampyr-Looking-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vampyr-Looking-360x270.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;
