Summary Carmilla von Karstein becomes anxious when she hears the legend of an ancestor of hers, Millarca, who escaped the grisly death reserved for vampires.  During a lavish party organised by her cousin Leopoldo to celebrate his engagement to Georgia Monteverdi an explosion destroys a nearby abbey.  A secret passage is revealed, at the end of which Camrilla discovers an ancient tomb which she is certain is that of Millarca.  Not long afterwards, Leopoldo becomes aware of a dramatic change in Carmilla’s behaviour.  His worst fears are confirmed when a peasant girl is found dead a short time later, her body defiled by the mark of the vampire... © Willems Henri (Brussels, Belgium) Review Write a review for this film...
