    Enjoyable enough but rather silly middle part of the 'Carmilla trilogy', loosely based on a story by J.S. Le Fanu. This film was preceded by "The Vampire Lovers" and followed by "Twins of Evil", neither of which it is equal to. Yutte Stensgaard is lovely to look at but, alas, no ...( read more)Ingrid Pitt in the acting stakes - no pun intended. Mike Raven makes a poor Christopher Lee substitute. Look out for a cracking blooper in the final scenes when the camera crew can be glimpsed to the left of the frame as a coach hurtles towards a group of villagers.

    Rumour has it that Yutte deeply regrets ever having starred in this film.

    Entertaining Hammer blood & boobs flick.

    Great silly fun with lovely score and even lovelier Hammer Gothic look. Sequel to Vampire lovers (1970), which was based on Joseph Sheridan LeFanu´s Carmilla (1872).

    Not interested. I generally avoid horror movies.

    Old vampire movie, not bad..
  • June 5, 2007
    The second entry in Hammer studio's Karnstein trilogy. Its not as good as The Vampire Lovers, but its still a fun lesbian vampire film. The absence of Ingrid Pitt in this is missed.

    In 1830, forty years to the day since the last manifestation of their dreaded vampirism, the Karnstein heirs use the blood of an innocent to bring forth the evil that is the beautiful Mircalla - or as she was in 1710, Carmilla. The nearby Finishing School offers rich pickings not...( read more) only in in the blood of nubile young ladies but also with the headmaster who is desperate to become Mircalla's disciple, and the equally besotted and even more foolish author Richard Lestrange.
