Swedish stunner Yutte Stensgaard stars in this Hammer Studios production as the reincarnation of the notorious female vampire Carmilla Karnstein. A follow up to THE VAMPIRE LOVERS, which, like this film, is based on the writings of Sheridan le Fanu. Here, le Fanu's famed vampiress takes the form of Mircalla, a stunning young finishing school student at an all girls' school. Mircalla satisfies her lust for blood by preying on her classmates, all of whom are drawn to her stunning looks. However, Mircalla's sensuality also attracts the attentions of Lestrange, a teacher at the school with whom she falls in love. An entertainingly tawdry Hammer vampire movie, LUST FOR A VAMPIRE is most notable for Ms. Stensgaard's sultry star turn.
