* AmbiguouslyEvil: For a good 3/4 of the film Marcilla/Carmilla keeps her fangs hidden and almost seems to be acting as an inside woman for the real villain, the sinister Man in Black. Indeed, given that she clearly has feelings for both Laura and Emma, and is never seen feeding on either of them, a case could almost be made that she was being placed in these households in order that she could allow her Master entry so that he could feed on these young women.
* AmbiguousTimePeriod: Often placed in 1790s Styria, the internal evidence would appear to place it decades later. Baron Hartog’s vendetta against the Karnsteins follows the death of his sister in 1794, and it’s not specified how long it took him to track them down. Either way, he’s shown and described as a young man in the flashback, but when he returns to finish the job he is at least 20 years older, possibly more. This would place the setting somewhere around the 1820s, possibly as late as 1840, and definately after the Napoleonic Wars.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Why did Carmilla attempt to spirit a dying Emma away to Castle Karnstein's ruins? Was it a bid to preserve her intended victim for future feeding, now waxing scrutiny and Renton's murder had made a longer sojourn at Emma's estate untenable? Or might she have been genuinely in love with Emma, perhaps even plotting to turn her into a vampire?

* JerkassWoobie: Throughout the film, Mircalla preys on several innocent people, and shows a willingness to dispose of others once they have outlived their usefulness to her. However, depending on how charitably one assesses her motivations, and specifically whether or not she had genuine love for Emma, she could be seen as a closeted lesbian who can ultimately never have romantic female companionship due to her vampiric condition, and due to it not being socially acceptable at the time.

* JustHereForGodzilla: Ties in with BestKnownForTheFanservice above, but the main draw of the film is to see [[MsFanservice Ingrid Pitt get naked]] and [[GirlOnGirlIsHot engage in some light lesbian activity]]. The filmmakers themselves seemed to be fully aware of this, and made use of it in their promotion for the film.
