À propos de ce film

Lara (Eleanor Tomlinson) and her estranged father, Dr. Hill (Stephen Rea), travel behind the iron curtain to a decrepit castle outside the Hungarian town of Styria. In the nearby woods, Lara witnesses a violent car crash. Carmilla, (Julia Pietrucha), the lone survivor, crawls from the wreckage. When Lara hides this beautiful and mysterious stranger in the castle, the two start an intense and chaotic friendship. As their relationship deepens, crops whither, farm animals die, and the young women of Styria begin to go mad. When local girls are found dead from apparent suicides, Lara wonders if Carmilla is to blame or is there a darker secret behind the mass hysteria destroying the town.

Notes et avis

Upon first viewing, what appears to be a supernatural thriller, is a riveting story of a tyrannical 'General' terrorizing, molesting and killing young women in a small village. Some poor girls even driven to suicide to escape his evil hands. The villagers, for fear of their own safety, surrender to his maniacal ways. I realize that the heroin, thought to be despised, becomes the savior of the tormented town.

The atmosphere was great, acting was good, but the plot...so incoherent overall that you pretty much don't care what happens to any of the characters.

A total waste !!
