Synopsis
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...
