«After
Dracula,
Carmilla is arguably the most
influential piece of vampire literature. Certainly when it comes to 19th century
literature that is an inescapable truism. It is also one of the most abused
pieces of vampire literature. Like Dracula there have been a fair few movies
that have little or nothing to do with the original story, despite claims to the
contrary. Some, despite having no meaningful connection with the original prose,
are works of absolute genius, Dreyer’s
Vampyr
being a prime example. You’d think a film that styles itself as
J Sheridan Le Fanu’s Vampire
Carmilla would have at least a passing
interest in the original story. Unfortunately this borrows a couple of names,
does the anagram thing – rather clumsily – and has a lesbianism aspect. Beyond
that the film bears as little resemblance to Carmilla as possible. It is also
rather borrowing. We start with a couple of teens in a car, they are out in the
woods – we know this because the scene is interspersed with a stock trees scene
and there are stock ‘woodland night time’ sound effects playing. They are
getting hot and heavy – an excuse to have her remove her top for a little viewer
titillation – but she hears something and wants to go elsewhere as she thinks
there is a prowler spying on them. He goes for a pee and then falls across the
hood of the car bleeding – in a shot that reveals a couple of parked cars behind,
what they were doing in the woods is anyone’s guess! Five shadowy figures (drawn
over the stock wood footage) appear. ...».
