 Vadim has a vision... May 2, 2005
Gabriel Renzo (Dearborn Hts., Michigan United States)

Vadim walked a very thin line at a time when it was very unconventional to, 'push the envelope' as one might say.
But, push the envelope hi did, and he erased the line with his cinematic genius and lust for life, which he brought to the screen as no one had ever dared to do before.
All progress was made by those of us who dared to be different.And Dare...Vadim did.
This particular movie was beautifully erotic and artistic. If you are a student of cinema, Vadim will give you a fellowship on the artistry of filming.
Good diversion May 3, 1999

Excellent movie for the genre. Vadim (or Stroyberg?) is quite attractive as is Martinelli. Worth the money.

This is definitley one of the best horror films i have ever seen. It is beautiful, lush, and a bit scary at some parts. Its more of a gothic romance than a 60's horror. I only wish they would transfer this awesome film onto DVD someday soon... its to good to be stuck on VHS. I'm giving it 5 stars for the movie itself, not the fact its on VHS.

Languid Chills... June 13, 2006

Vadim's take on Sheridan le Fanu's tale Carmilla is a somewhat languid chiller, updated to modern (1960) Italy and starring the lovely Annette Stroyberg as Carmilla and Elsa Martinelli as Georgia. Pitched somewhere between the supernatural and the psychological Vadim draws us into a lushly coloured but oddly crepuscular landscape in which Carmilla may indeed be possessed by the spirit of her vampire ancestor Millarca or alternatively a depressive caught in the spell of an overwhelming romantic imagination. Mel Ferrer is Leopoldo, the less-than-sympathetic, almost sexist object of her spurned affections. The film's reputation hinges on two scenes of intense dream-like claustrophobia; the first is a rain-soaked kiss in a hot-house replete with a heady lesbian suggestion and the second is a nightmare in monochrome and red inflicted upon Georgia toward the climax. Beautiully filmed but terribly marred (in fact almost ruined) by the studio 'need' to engage the Exposition Fairy, destroying Vadim's careful mood with Carmilla's constant voice-overs needlessly 'explaining' to the audience exactly what is happening. Deserving of a DVD Director's re-cut (removing all the awful exposition, ala Bladerunner) and presented in its original Technirama format, no doubt something not very likely to happen.
