The novel Carmilla, written by Sheridan Le Fanu in the second half of the 19th century, has been the subject of film adaptations as Vicente Aranda's 1972 feature film La novia ensangrentada and the Canadian film The Carmilla Movie (Spencer Maybee, 2017). The story is about the relationship between two young women: a mortal and a vampire. Both adaptations place this Victorian myth in the present and claim aspects of gender and female homosexuality in the context of its actuality.
