It has been five years since Laura and Carmilla vanquished the apocalypse and Carmilla became a mortal human. Their domestic bliss is suddenly ruptured when Carmilla begins to show signs of "re-vamping" - from a fondness for bloody treats to accidental biting - while Laura has started having bizarre, ghostly dreams. The couple must now enlist their old friends from Silas University to uncover the unknown supernatural threat and save humanity - including Carmilla's.
If you didn't know already, Carmilla is a LGBT web series on youtube (series one, two and three to make it easier for you..) and I highly recommend you go and binge watch all three series of it now before going and buying the movie, which is available on Fullscreen.
Now, onto the review! I am absolutely in love with both the series and movie, which I have seen twice since it's released which is a rarity, usually I'll watch a movie once and be done with it for a while. As a lesbian, finding a good, watchable LGBT movie isn't the easiest of tasks and yet this movie is perfect. Yes, it maybe about a vampire and her girlfriend who is having weird dreams linked to their past but still, it's perfect.
It has a little bit of everything, comedic moments mixed in with action and suspense and romance - something that I feel some lesbian movies struggle with yet this movie has pulled it off and put together a sex scene that I can enjoy knowing it's actually realistic compared to other films that seem to be filmed by someone simply guessing how it all goes down.
If you're into supernatural LGBT themed movies then this is for you, but I do recommend watching the Carmilla series prior as you might be left a little confused about what's going down in the movie. The movie is available via Fullscreen, as previously stated and this is currently the only way you'll be able to watch it but it is so worth it, trust me!
I rate it 5 out of 5 grapes.
