A 15-year-old girl becomes enchanted with a mysterious young woman who's recuperating in her family's home.

Critics Consensus

Deviations from the source material arguably cost Carmilla some of its bite, but it remains a well-acted period romance.

4/5

3/5

A vampire story in spirit only, this clever and deliberately low-key adaptation of Sheridan Le Fanu's garish gothic novella is a study in moral ambiguity and 19th-century religious hypocrisy.

2/5

Admirers of Le Fanu's source material may enjoy this traditional interpretation of gothic seduction, but those craving more bite for their buck will be left hankering for something more modern and salacious.

Carmilla is beautifully shot, with the appearance of a Vermeer painting: all dark domestic realism and candlelit corners.

Carmilla is a boldly beautiful and thought-provoking film. It may be slow and melodramatic in places, but you can’t help but become fully invested in this world.
