Not too long after saying this, she does exactly that.
One would think I had seen every version of Carmilla out there. And in truth I had, until very recently. This is a new one and one that came highly recommended to me.
The cast is pretty amazing with a personal favorite of mine Jessica Raine as Miss Fontaine, the Mademoiselle De Lafontaine character from the novella. Tobias Menzies of Game of Thrones and Outlander fame as The Doctor (Spielsberg).
It also includes new(-sh)commers, Hannah Rae as Lara "Bauer" (not sure why the name is changed), and Devrim Lingnau as Carmilla.
The movie more or less follows the basic story novella but also takes a few liberties. It is atmospheric and gothic and sadly dreadfully slow. It does play up the tension between Carmilla and Miss Fontaine more.
The story is fine, not a lot of horrors though and some of my favorite lines from the book are gone.
Not really a fan of how it ended.
