Carmilla feels like a quieter, more intimate ancestor to Dracula. The horror isn’t loud — it’s seductive, emotional, and unsettling in ways that feel surprisingly modern. The relationship between Laura and Carmilla is what makes it work; it’s less about monsters and more about desire, repression, and the danger of wanting something you shouldn’t. Short, moody, and way ahead of its time.
