Trivia
Vampir is inspired by the real vampire cases that occurred in Serbia in the early 1700s. Those were the origin of vampires. Though the film is set in modern times it's based on those myths, superstitions and folk elements. Tomovic wanted to show a more mysterious side of Serbia. The film also serves as an allegory of an immigrant child who was raised abroad and comes back to his ancestry's country, where he is confronted with the local habits, traditions and way of life which are hard to accept at first.

Haunting folktale from Serbia

I saw this not knowing what to expect. And I was pleasantly surprised to see something so different from what's currently being offered in mainstream cinemas. This film is art, beautiful cinematography, haunting soundtrack, original directing ideas, no CGI and very subtle and honest performances.

Above all, this film will take you on a journey and suck you in deeper and deeper into this small Serbian village and its dark secrets.

The atmosphere and suspense that Tomovic creates in his film will get under your skin.
