Viewing Notes
A moodier, more gothic film than those he starred in for Hammer, this Christopher Lee starring loose adaptation of Sheridan Le Fanu’s CARMILLA novella (which I’ve read and love and need to revisit) features some great cinematography and location shooting at Castello Piccolomini, Balsorano, L’Aquila, Italy. That’s the same castle used so well in LADY FRANKENSTEIN and BLOODY PIT OF HORROR.
