In fact, improvisation played a crucial role in the development of Les Vampires . The hazards of fate would play an important part in the improvisation of whatever scene was on hand. This approach to filmmaking gives Les Vampires an unpredictable rhythm, as if anything and everything might happen. Seemingly important characters get killed off. Strange side stories develop.
Months suddenly pass.
Largely because of this unpredictable development, the surrealists championed Les Vampires . While Les Vampires contains a fantastic set of events, the characters and situations never stray too far from the plausible. Les Vampires takes place in a world where all appearances are deceiving. Living rooms can become gas chambers and hotel rooms can suddenly sprout heavy artillery. Feuillade creates a frightening world where the ordinary and mundane may suddenly be overwhelmed by the mysterious.
