The Carmilla Movie

The movie is not based on the book, if you are wanting to watch it hoping it will be like the book, don't. You need to watch the web series before watching the movie. If you did not like the web series you will not like the movie. If you loved the web series you will love the movie.

If you've seen the web series you know exactly what to expect and what you're getting yourself into. The movie brings back all the old cast, with the corny lines, theater acting feel and great lesbian love story. Just like the web series, the actress who plays Laura Hollis, unfortunately hasn't gotten any better in acting. Everyone else is fantastic, but she does really bring the movie down with her poor skills.

As a lover of the web series, I really enjoyed the movie. It was like a continuation of the series. It was fun to finally see it in a real movie style with many camera angles and such, not just a web cam. I thought the movie was a real treat. Above all I really enjoyed the lesbian relationship between Carmilla and Laura. They teased us many times in the web series, and finally they gave us a very steamy sex scene between the two. There's lots of passion there.

I'm not too sure why it has an R rating, it has nothing to do with the story, or being scary. I can only guess it's due to the lesbian sex scene, but even then it seems not graphic enough for an R rating. The movie is a drama/thriller/fantasy. Just like the series.

I saw this at the theatre last year and just re-watched it this week on my computer. As someone who was a big fan of the first season of the series as a teenager, this film feels special to me, and since I already love the characters, seeing them again on the big screen, and in a new environment, was exciting and fun. That being said, some of the classic pitfalls of Carmilla are here -- some cheesy dialog, questionable cinematography, etc. But, if you're already a fan of the series, you're sure to enjoy this! 8/10

I had no idea there was a tv show that this is based on. I guess the title should have been a give away, yes? Well I did not think that far ahead. So as you can tell, I am not familiar with the tv show (yet). I watched a movie before a show a while ago and I seem to be drawn to do that in 2022. Ah well, there are worse things than that, right? Rhetorical question of course and no pun intended.

The movie is quite nice and has a nice flow to it. The actors are good, it looks good and it has a few elements that fit into the horror genre. It also has an after credits scene that suggest this is not the end of the story. Not that I was there for the beginning ... just saying.

I might somedays watch the tv show when I get the chance. It seems to be better - don't think I'll revisit the movie though.

There's only one reason to like this movie, and that's because it's got a lesbian theme.

Sorry, but that doesn't make a good movie. If you're with a group of mates getting drunk one Sunday & suddenly decide that you can make a movie, then just hodgepodge a few ideas together & go for it. Don't worry about a lack of acting talent, or nothing matching together, just get a few more drinks into you and it'll be right. All you'll need is a sex theme hook and nobody will care that a primary school's play production is of better quality.

If you want to watch anything because it's got a lesbian theme, then sure, go ahead, however if you want to watch a movie with some degree of quality in either acting or its script, then keep hunting.

I got through half this movie, that is billed as a horror/comedy and found no redeeming quality whatsoever. It was boring, unfunny, and predictable. Now, maybe I should have watched the whole thing, but I gave it half way and figured I was wasting my time. Can anyone tell me why I should watch the second half? And no, it has nothing to do with the two women being lesbians, I could care less, but everything to do with the movie stunk.
