25 years before the story of Dracula came to life, there was an enchanting young woman with a taste for blood… Writer/director Emily Harris brings to life the adaptation of Le Fanu‘s gothic vampire tale Carmilla, starring Hannah Rae. Isolated from the outside world, fifteen-year-old Lara (Hannah Rae, “Broadchurch”, Fighting with My Family) lives in seclusion on a vast country estate with her father and strict governess Miss Fontaine (Jessica Raine, “Patrick Melrose”, “Jericho”).
