aka Et mourir de plaisir.
"My name is Millarca. I lived in the past, I live now."
Carmilla Von Karnstein (Annette Vadim) becomes obsessed by a distant ancestor, who was considered to be a vampire. So much so she becomes possessed by Millarca's spirit. But is it all in her mind, or is she really under the spell of her vampire relative?
An intelligent take on Sheridan Le Fanu's tale, updated to the modern day. A gentle, surreal and dream like horror, where unrequited love spans the generations. Though I enjoyed this version, I would love to compare it to the European print, which leaves the viewer to make up their own mind as to whether Vampires exist. The American version being narrated by a Vampire leaves one in little doubt.
