One half exploitation film, the other half an ambitious arthouse project, Harry Kümel’s Daughters Of Darkness is a beloved, gory, erotic, and thoughtful entry into the lesbian vampire subgenre.

Starring the sensational Delphine Seyrig as the refined and sophisticated Countess Bathory, the film revolves around two newlyweds (John Karlen and Danielle Ouimet) arriving at a Belgium hotel during the off-season. However, the pair aren’t as alone as they thought. When the sun sets the Countess and her secretary (Andrea Rau) arrive and soon become infatuated with the young couple, resulting in a night of sadism, violence, and murder.

Whether you’re looking for some good old-fashioned 70s schlock, a provocative allegory of power, or just an interesting vampire film, Daughters Of Darkness is the vampire film for you.
