They do a good job of making the husband into a blackguard. All that ripping off her clothes as she stoically submits. Even when she rebels, he seems to think everything is all right. This dynamic sets up the relationship between Susan an Carmilla convincingly. They do a nice job of keeping it uncertain whether there are Vampires involved or not. Male fears of emasculation are mixed with the fear of lesbianism, and of women living without men. Sometimes this is a bit heavy handed, but generally it's well done. There are occasional slowdowns in the pace but the action remains intriguing. All that emasculation keeps the attention. In the usual European fashion, the dialogue is strained, the acting embarrassing. Also in European style, the husband shoots a fox in what can't be a faked scene. What was the assault scene in the beginning? </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Plot Summary: Plato: "The good ones are those who are content to dream what the wicked actually practice."</B></div> <div> <B>The newlyweds arrive at a hotel and the bride, Susan, spies a mysterious blonde in a black cape. As she goes to put away her clothes, she is assaulted by someone waiting in her closet. By the time Susan's husband arrives, everything is over and she reports that she doesn't want to stay in the hotel without saying anything more. They move on to the groom's childhood home where they meet Carol, the groundskeeper's twelve year old daughter. Susan spies the blonde woman on the grounds. Once they are alone the husband proceeds to rip her wedding dress off. Bad luck. Carol tells Susan that the portraits of the women are all in the cellar. When Carol goes out on a walk, she calls to someone and sees the mysterious blonde. The husband then sneaks up behind her and takes her by the hair and begins pushing her around, apparently wanting to have some kind of sexual encounter. She scrambles away. Later, Susan appears to be getting a bit tired out from her marital duties. She locks herself in the pigeon coop and sends out a carrier pigeon. It appears all is not well with this marriage. Susan goes down to check out the portraits in the cellar. She finds one of a woman with a bloody knife, inverted rings and the face cut out. Carol had stuck her face through the hole. The laughter ends when the husband comes down and says if she knew who Michella Karstein was, she wouldn't be laughing, two hundred years before she killed her husband on her wedding night because he made her do unspeakable things. She was buried with the dagger in her hands. They go to the grave and the husband pulls out a brittle bone and snaps it. When he next comes to tear her dress off she tells him to go away. Later the mysterious blonde, no doubt Michella, comes to her in her sleep and starts sucking away. Susan wakes up screaming, but there's no one there. However, a knife was left that looks suspiciously like the one in the painting. Michella comes again while both of them are sleeping and whispers to her to follow. Susan does. They retrieve the knife from a grandfather clock and it looks like history will be repeated. Things get pretty bloody when she does the Irena Bobbit. Or was it a dream? The doctor later says Susan has infantile habits. It's unclear how he came upon this bit of information. Susan starts drawing the woman of the nightmare. When she finds the dagger just where it was in the dream, she's taken a bit more seriously. While hiding the dagger again, the husband finds the blonde sleeping on the beach buried in the sand, breathing through a snorkeling mask. He brings her back to the house. She calls herself Carmilla and stays with them. Susan finds that Carmilla wears inverted rings as well and decides that Carmilla is Michella. She admits to her husband that she hates him but is still afraid that Carmilla will kill him. He takes this all very well. That night the husband sees Carmilla and Susan walking about in the moonlight. Later she won't say where she's been. Susan's taken to wearing inverted rings. He later finds she's got a wound on her throat--no surprise there. She tries to stab him but he easily sidesteps her. She ends up cutting her own hand. Later, he sends someone to follow Susan as she meets Carmilla on the grounds. They go to a crypt, and the detective follows behind. Carmilla drinks Susan's blood and has her admit that "he has spat inside my body to humiliate me". The detective tells him that Carmilla is not a vampire but a lesbian, paranoid pervert, and that they're both very dangerous. The husband later sees Susan tending a grave and inside he finds Carmilla. He checks her teeth and they seem normal. That night the detective follows Carmilla who heads to the crypt. Meanwhile Susan opens a locked desk with a screw driver, and pulls out the knife. the detective disturbs her and she and Carmilla together do a job on him. The husband then comes to investigate and Carmilla insists, "kill him, destroy his masculinity." Carmilla gets caught in a bear trap. the servant is there and starts to tie her up--apparently he knows all about her. However, Susan is a good accomplice. The husband hears some shots and goes out to investigate He finds the knife and the emasculated corpse of the hunter. He goes to seek the crypt.</B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
