Carmilla

Predating Dracula by 26 years, Carmilla is an original vampire story, steeped in sexual tension and gothic romance.

“Filled with love for me, you must go with me until death.
Or filled with hatred, but go with me all the same.”

In an isolated castle deep in Styria, Austria, Laura leads a solitary life, with only her ailing father for company. But one moonlit night, a carriage pulls into the castle, carrying an unexpected guest—the beautiful Carmilla. Thus begins a passionate friendship between Laura and her mysterious, alluring companion.

But for some reason, Carmilla becomes increasingly strange and volatile, prone to eerie nocturnal wanderings, and Laura begins to suffer from nightmares and grows weaker by the day.
