Founded in 2002 as one of the first-ever subscription film services with its DVD-of-the-Month Film Club, Film Movement is now a North American distributor of award-winning independent and foreign films based in New York City.

Isolated from the outside world, fifteen-year-old Lara (Hannah Rae) lives in seclusion on a vast country estate with her father and strict governess Miss Fontaine (Jessica Raine). Late one evening, a mysterious carriage crash brings a young girl into their home to recuperate. Lara immediately becomes enchanted by this strange visitor who arouses her curiosity and awakens her burgeoning desires.

This atmospheric coming-of-age tale is inspired by the 1872 Gothic vampire novella by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu.

"Great movie !!"

— richard c. (5/5)

Carmilla

"I wasn’t into this release as I hoped I would. I found the movie beautiful to look at, but the story fell flat. But this release is great and I especially love the artwork for the slipcover."

— Ant D. (5/5)

Slow and thoughtful

"Fairly slow paced but really atmospheric. Enjoyed it but one to immerse and take time with. Loved the booklet too even though I missed the slip."

— RICHARD L. (5/5)

Great adaptation of one of the greats of English Lit

"Always been a huge fan of Le Fanu's original. This is one of the best adaptations. It is not exploitational or as horror focused as most and I think that is to its benefit. The love story seems more central and the challenges to the characters in a repressive time. It is a coming of age tale. Some well done effects too. Not familiar with most of the cast but great performances all around. (The only one I knew was Tobias Menzies from GoT, Outlander, and Rome. ) Highly recommended."

— Ed K. (5/5)

So good

"If you love period pieces, horror, vampires, AND lesbians, this is for you."

— Zachery M. (5/5)

I saw this film at

"I saw this film at a film festival and never thought it would ever get a Blu Ray release so I got a shitty bootleg years back but this release trumps it. Gorgeous cinematography and fantastic performances. Great release!"

— Bryan K. (5/5)

great movie and plot

"I have this movie on DVD and now on Blu-ray; it’s worth it for the collection."

— Emmanuel R. (5/5)

Eerie romance

"A British romance/horror. Incredible artwork on the slip!"

— Chris T. (5/5)

Beautiful release!

"Got to love a woman-directed take on this lesbian vampire classic."

— Thomasin G. (5/5)

3. 5 stars

"Beautiful cinematography. I always love me a good Carmella adaptation."

— Vincent P. (4/5)
