Editorial Reviews

Lara and her estranged father, Dr. Hill, travel behind the iron curtain to a decrepit castle outside the Hungarian town of Styria. After witnessing a car crash nearby, Lara takes Carmilla, the lone survivor, to the castle to recover where they begin an intense and chaotic friendship. But when local girls are mysteriously found dead, and evidence begins to point towards Carmilla, Lara must question their friendship and the dark secrets behind the mass hysteria destroying the town.

Good to see Carmilla getting her due...

Not exactly a "new twist" on the vampire genre, as the story of Carmilla is twenty five years older than our old friend, Bram Stoker's Dracula (1871-72 vs 1897)...Hammer Films mauled the story fairly well in the 70s with the Karnstein trilogy, as well as mentioned in several other movies...this telling starts painfully slow, but steadily builds steam. Carmilla is a much more seductive character than Dracula...so much so the story was roundly panned in its time for its overt lesbian storyline...this movie rather cleverly fits itself into a more or less current timeline, with Communism, the Cold War, and the opening of Warsaw Pact countries to Western scholars. It gets only three stars, however, because of its catatonic start...all in all not a bad movie...Stephen Rhea is his usual methodical self, never letting too much out at once...definitely worth the time on a slow afternoon...and it is good to see Carmilla getting some show time...after all, she was the first vampire popularized in Western literature...one thing to recommend this movie is the cinematography...the camera work is strikingly beautiful...

I"m sorry to say it, but this movie is terrible.

bad acting, bad directing, bad script, pompous music not matching the cinematic. I would say it is a muddled mess, but its not muddled, its not anything...its like they shot a bunch of b-roll that they realized is god awful and didn't have the energy to reshoot so they just spliced it together and moved on w/ their life. I'm sure the source material created the potential for something great in the script-writer's and director's eyes, but it was not even 15% realized. the worst movie I've drudged through (only because I am a fan of the Poldark actress) - (1) was pointless atmospherics, (2) murky plot that wasn't ever shared with us and (3) wooden, cheap acting. OMG, I bet most of hollywood is actually sitting through productions of movies like this that would otherwise not see the light of day - makes me sad.

Damn That Was Good!!

4.5 stars. This film premiered at the Dances With Films Festival at the same time my film did. It was called “Styria” at the time (a waaaaay better title for it), and it looked like an interesting take on Sheridan le Fanu’s novella, “Carmilla.” I stumbled across it on Amazon today, and I’m so glad I did! The film is moody, atmospheric, and gothic. The production design, cinematography, sets, casting, and directing were great. If you’re a fan of old Hammer horror films, you need to see this. Oh, and ignore the cheesy new title and poster - they don't do this film justice. It's a Victorian gothic supernatural romance / horror set in modern times.

Closest Retelling of Carmilla yet.

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2015

Verified Purchase

Angels of Darkness is a retelling of Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan LeFanu. The year of setting was moved from the 1800s to the early 1980s to add an extra level of tension. Most of the movie followed the original story to a tee, and the changes that were made fit in with the time period that it was placed in. If I could have ranked this movie higher, I would have.

Angels of Darkness follows the story of Lara and her meeting with Carmilla, a mysterious girl. The whole plot has interesting twists and turns that keeps the viewer watching. One plot twist that I loved was that Spielsdorf took on a more militaristic role than in the original book. You can see how this shapes his character and places him as a villain in the film piece.

Erika Marozsan, of course

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2020

I am a fan of Erika Marozsan (Ich Will Dich), who of course I wish had a bigger role in this, but it was a good film anyway. The scenery and cinematography was excellent, and the story kept me engaged, even with various plot holes. Definitely recommend for gothic horror fans who like their films less formulaic and with authentic scenery. Also inspired me to start reading Carmilla, which is a surprisingly good and not too overladen with Victorian prose.

beautifully rendered, and more importantly

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2015

Original, beautifully rendered, and more importantly, a socially relevant reimagining of the Carmilla story hampered by budget. I only wish they'd given Stephen Rhea more to do. Also, the title U.S. distributors have slapped on the original is a ludicrous decision. This, like Stakeland, is well worth seeing.

Pretty good thriller/horror

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2016

I could not figure out what the heck was going on with this one. I didn't know if the Carmilla girl was crazy or a ghost or kidnapped. It all came together eventually. It was an okay plot but if it had just a bit more depth it could've been a cult classic. So more like a 3 1/2 star. Not too shabby though.

Mediocre film that could have been quite good.

Not a bad film, just not what it could have been. Some great moments, but overall it is lacking.
