Movie description
Delphine Seyrig stars in this classic horror movie as Elizabeth Bathory, a sinister and ageless countess whose ancestor found eternal youth by bathing in the blood of 800 virgins. While staying with her companion Ilona (Rau) at a deserted Belgian hotel, the two meet a newlywed couple who are passing through. One half of the couple (Karlen) is immediately drawn to the countess and, oddly, his entire personality seems to change when he is near her. When bloodless corpses start appearing around the area where the two couple are staying, it becomes apparent that the countess is up to more than her usual amount of trouble. Stylish and mesmerizing, DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS is an astonishing accomplishment from director Harry Kümel.

Editorial reviews
"DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS is an ultra-sophisticated triumph of style and mood, ineffably poignant and ever verging on camp but too confident and knowing to lapse into it."
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (02/12/2004)

"[E]levated to the status of high 'camp' art by Delphine Seyrig's ineffably slinky Countess Erszebet Bathory..."
Sight and Sound - Michael Brooke (06/01/2007)

FROM IMBD - Many of the European sleaze flicks of the 70s had high art pretensions, particularly those by the likes of Jess Franco and Jean Rollin. However, "Daughters of Darkness" is one of the few to succeed as actual art and trashy exploitation. Its beautifully filmed with constantly gorgeous sets and actually well-developed characters (the later being a true rarity for the genre). On the other hand, it has plenty of nudity and a few cheap thrills to keep the drive-in fan entertained. As I said above, this is a quality production all around. The direction by Harry Kümel is simply exquisite. The film is very slowly paced and will probably be considered dull by those expecting an actual horror film. There's few shocks to be had here, nor are there any seemingly conscience attempts to scare the audience. Kumel obviously had something else on his mind. The sets are also gorgeous and the cinematography constantly impresses. The film is certainly not for all tastes, but those who enjoy films that cross the line between cult and art will be fascinated. Most of all, the story is very strong. Unlike many other lesbian vampire flicks, the character development is very strong. Countess Bathory is never portrayed as actually being the villain, and a superb performance from Delphine Seyrig ensures a memorable character. The couple is slightly less impressive but still fine in their own right. Its interesting how the true antagonist of the story shifts from Bathory to Stefen, the husband, midway through. All in all, "Daughters of Darkness" is one of the most beautiful supernatural films I've seen in a while.

The Directors's Cut is presented for the first time in its original aspect ratio of 1.66:1 (WIDESCREEN). It is the full - length European version transferred from the best material currently avaliable

An original Anchor Bay Entertainment Release.
