Girl or Ghoul?

Living a
lonely existence in a remote schloss in
Styria, on the border of Austria and Hungary, Laura
and her father play host to an unexpected guest, the beautiful young
Carmilla. Her arrival is closely followed by an
outbreak of unexplained deaths in the area, while the young women's growing
friendship coincides with a series of nightmares and mysterious nocturnal
visitations, and a gradual downward spiral in Laura's health. A chilling tale of
the un-dead, Carmilla stands out as an all-time
