In 1830, the Karnstein heirs use the blood of an innocent to bring forth the evil that is the beautiful Mircalla - or as she was in 1710, Carmilla. The nearby Finishing School offers rich pickings not only in in the blood of nubile young ladies but also with the headmaster who is desperate to become Mircalla's disciple, and the equally besotted and even more foolish author Richard Lestrange.

I didn't think I was going to enjoy watching this but it turned out to be a decent traditional vampire story. The movie starts out well and there is just enough going on throughout to keep it from dragging. The acting is a little over-the-top dramatically, but old school vampire flicks almost always are. There's nothing new to find anywhere here but it's a good movie.

_Lust for a Vampire_ is loosely based on the OG herself, Carmilla. However, the adaptation starts and stops with the name of the character alone; aside from that, it's just a bunch of girls at a school. The story is very convoluted. What should be a simple, Hammer-made story about a vampire biting hot, young girls, spends too much time on the fallout from the deaths, and a pointless "love story" between Carmilla, and a teacher - that is a teacher "falls in love with her," after only knowing her a day, and she wants nothing to do with her... so romantic. Really, how does Hammer make a female vampire movie, with lesbians, and boobs, boring? The Count Karnstein character - who looked like Christopher Lee playing Anton Lavey - didn't make much sense for the story; like, why would a vampire have to use black magic to reincarnate a vampire? This felt like the entire first act was lopped off. Anyway, pretty pitiful for a Hammer release. Worth at least one watch.
