Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2017 film The Carmilla Movie.
Story
A sequel to the 3.5 seasons of the web show Carmilla. It does a good job of recapping what happened, but it’s quick. I think someone who hasn’t watched the show would be confused.
The story itself is interesting and really uses the locations well. It felt like a shorter version of the show.
Score: 1
Characters
The characters, even after five years, acted the same and retained the character growth from the show. The new characters were nice but didn’t have much screen time.
Score: 1
Dialogue
The dialogue was flippant and irreverent, just like the show. I particularly appreciated the sound mixing since I didn’t have subtitles.
Score: 1
Visuals and Music
The visuals were obviously a large improvement from a webcam-based story and were well thought out. The locations, particularly the manor house, were beautiful.
The music was okay but felt lacking at some points.
Score: 0.5
Fun
This really is a love letter to the fans and I enjoyed every moment of it.
Score: 1
Overall
The movie is a lot of fun for those that already have a nostalgic love of the show. If you haven’t watched it, you won’t get as much out of the movie. (Go watch the show.)
Final Score: 4.5 Stars out of 5
