After the success of his Fantômas films, French director Louis Feuillade attempted to create the ultimate espionage serial, a ten-episode, seven-hour epic called Les Vampires.
Édouard Mathé stars as Philippe Guerande, a crime-fighting journalist who attempts to penetrate the international ring of thieves known as The Vampires. Among the most fascinating of these sophisticated thieves and assassins is Irma Vep (Musidora), a black-clad seductress whose name is an anagram for "vampre" and who endures today as an icon of European cinema.
At times gruesome, fantastic, and romantic, Les Vampires was a spectacular accomplishment that influenced filmmakers for generations. This Kino Classics edition is authorized by the Gaumont Studios, and was mastered in HD from 35mm film elements restored by the Cinémathèque Française, and is accompanied by a new musical score by the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra.
Un coffret 4 DVD sérial en 10 épisodes
Suppléments:

Les Vampires ne sucent pas le sang. Ils volent et ils tuent. Aidé du croque-mort Mazamette, le journaliste Philippe Guérande lutte contre la redoutable bande pour qui tous les moyens sont bons, du stylo qui tue au canon silencieux, en passant par le chapeau explosif et les gaz soporifiques, et dont l`égérie est la fascinante Irma Vep, la nymphe maléfique au légendaire collant noir.
