As the horror-loving lesbian that I am, I’ve seen several adaptions of Carmilla at this point. Styria falls more or less in the middle of these adaptions. 5.6/10

I loved Knife + Heart. The film is a queer update of a genre I already loved. It’s kept all the staples of that genre while managing to make a film that’s gay-friendly instead of homophobic. 8.7/10
While I have a soft-spot for 1970’s horror sleaze, I can’t say The Devil’s Plaything is one of the better offerings. I still had fun with some of the moments but mostly, the movie bored me. 3/10
. I love films that reference an old thing but update it to make it queer. I just think Sweet, Sweet Lonely Girl needed about 20% more spookiness to be fully successful.
No one is more surprised than I that I found James Franco’s exercise in lesbian vampire fan fiction actually pretty enjoyable. 6.6/10
To my pleasant surprise, Schoolgirl Complex is hardly sexual or fetishized at all. But crossing the low threshold of not being sleazy and gross is not enough to make it an interesting movie. 5.5/10
I really enjoyed this movie. I’ve Heard the Mermaids Singing is a quick sit with likeable characters. I love its messages about kindness and also the subjectivity of art and critique. 7.8/10
Ghosted is one of those bad movies where throughout most of the film I just kept asking, what is the point of this movie? 3.8/10
or a young person who’s not deathly allergic to the word daddy like I am, they might actually really like this movie. Or they might find it beyond annoying. 5.9/10
Olivia is one of the oldest WLW films I know of and was directed by a woman. As such, the film has great female characters and understanding of women and girls. It also had a surprisingly good grasp of psychology. 8/10
