A twilight world of gothic horror recieves a queer reimagining.

As Doctor Hessellius recounts his entanglements with the supernatural, the story of Laura’s hypnotic enthrallment by Carmilla unfolds, revealing a world where love transcends the confines of mortality. This adaptation expands on the original story by introducing a broad spectrum of LGBTQ+ characters, exploring themes of desire, repression, and the power dynamics of love and sacrifice within a richly gothic setting.

Paying homage to it’s 19th-century roots, Carmilla is a timeless reflection on the complexities of human emotion and the shadowy borders between life and death.
