Doesn't entirely work as a cohesive narrative yet still delivers enough bizarre and nightmarish imagery to earn itself a watch. Go to Full Review

Vincent S @Vin_E_At_The_Movies 1d I know this is a popular cult movie but this is badly photographed, clumsy and boring to me. There is also only one great jump scare. See more g j @RT02395222 12/18/2024 Did not see the appeal. It was low-budget, badly acted and hammy. I liked the flute score. See more 07/09/2022 Spellbinding, haunting & surreal. My favorite film as a child! See more 08/15/2020 Often interesting variation of the Carmilla story, Lemora's mostly hokey makeup effects, stilted dialogue, and strictly PG-rated thrills end up diluting the film's overall effectiveness. However, Lesley Gilb's distinctive face and menacingly seductive presence, along with a disturbing and malevolent tone throughout, help to somewhat defeat the film's many shortcomings. One of the few movies that could actually benefit from being remade today.
