The Rise of Carmilla: A Satanic Estate Presentation

Historically, female vampires were portrayed as predatory lesbians or as subservient to a Master in the form of Dracula. They were the Brides, a means to bring victims to the male vampire. Modernized versions of the Brides have them liberated from any Master and are unconventional women fighting against the patriarchy and the “traditions” that try to keep them submissive. Female vampires of the 2010s show us the full spectrum of these women - they are taking back the night. Through the films Bit (2019), Byzantium (2017), and Bliss (2019) – We see the Rise of Carmilla.
