Reaction: Very strong numbers for a film that wasn't the most marketable. With no big stars, and genres that have been unpredictable at the box office, we were forced to market the film around Steven Soderbergh's involvement - which ended up paying off, especially overseas.
"While there are plotting and casting issues, Steven Soderbergh has shot a beautiful film, especially the nightmare sequences." - Vincent Kerr, Washington Post
"This is a film that should have been better than it ended up based on the genre and director, but the casting and setting feels off. This cast may have worked if the setting had been updated from the source material, but just about everyone feels out of place in the final product." - Dave Cone, New York Post
"Any part of Carmilla that works is entirely due to Steven Soderbergh's talent behind the camera. With his supposed retirements and move to smaller scale projects, it's easy to forget that we are dealing with a master filmmaker seemingly incapable of making anything unwatchable." - Stephen Anderson, Entertainment Weekly
