Taken a very wild and alarmingly disrespectful interpretation of Sheridan Le Fanu's "Carmilla" this horrible movie takes a turn for the worst of the worst. Out of all the interpretations this one has gone where no adaptation has gone before, it has stomped and spitted all over the original story.
A southern tale of religion, lesbianism, self-cutting, discrimination, cold blood murder, it has NOTHING to do with the Vampire novella it was supposed based upon.
But it goes to great lengths to trick you it does, like keeping the names Laura and Carmilla, even the Karstein last name, which apparently to these amateurs is enough to say "based upon"... no, it's not.
This waste of tape goes thru so many genres like crime, suspense, horror, romance, semi-vampire story... it jut can't find its place where it wants to belong.
It doesn't have any suspense at all, all the plot twists are obvious from the first minute, it was filmed, written and produced by amateurs and provocateurs that think audiences are so stupid to praise a movie just because it has an explicit sexual scene, they might have thought that raising the bar on the nudity would make people forget the garbage they just watched... well, it did not.
The plot is all over, the characters are badly written, horribly acted, the story doesn't even resemble "Carmilla" at all. One thing is to make a modern adaptation of the source material and another very different thing is to insult it and spit all over it.
As if the filmmakers have sat down and said "What is the worst possible insult we deliver to Carmilla and the fans of the novel?" And they came up with such an abomination.
This "movie" has no redeeming qualities, waste of time, waste of tape.
Please do not watch this filth, friends don't let friends watch "The Unwanted"
