A modern short film adaptation of the Victorian vampire novella, Carmilla, written by Sheridan Le Fanu. The original Carmilla is a story about a young vampire who falls in love with the young woman who unwittingly takes her in after a carriage "accident". Bind Over Thee puts the power back in the victim's hands and gives her a choice. It asks subtle questions about innocence and identity, and wonders who is truly more dangerous: the vampire who falls in love, or the lonely girl who offers her a place to stay for the night.

In 1830, the Karnstein heirs use the blood of an innocent to bring forth the evil that is the beautiful Mircalla - or as she was in 1710, Carmilla. The nearby Finishing School offers rich pickings not only in in the blood of nubile young ladies but also with the headmaster who is desperate to become Mircalla's disciple, and the equally besotted and even more foolish author Richard Lestrange.

A woman wakes up injured in a basement surrounded by corpses. To survive, she pretends to be dead while a grotesque ritual unfolds in the house above.
