Format: DVD
From the golden age of 70's horror films and starring the incomparable Delphine Seyrig, I would not hesitate to recommend this Vampire? movie where the atmosphere generated by the location of an out-of-season Belgian seaside hotel provides a backdrop through which Ms Seyrig drifts effortlessly and menacingly. The faded opulence of the hotel is the starting point to which layers of menace and intrigue are added, and the reason I put the question mark after Vampire is that the nature of the menace is never overtly stated so building the tension even more.
Perhaps the oddest thing is to find John Karlen (Mr Lacey in Cagney & Lacey!) as a decadent English aristo! but why he should get higher billing than the stupendous Delphine Seyrig is beyond me. Indeed both Goth Lesbian icon Andrea Rau and Danielle Ouimet have a much surer grasp of film's style than Mr Karlen.
The slow ratchetting of tension is handled expertly by Harry Kumel, whose commentary on this DVD is a revealing insight into the films dynamics.
The term 'Classic' is overused but in this case it is justified.

Format: DVD
A young couple (John Karlen and Danielle Ouimet) encounter a mysterious Countess (Delphine Seyrig) and her seductive companion (Andrea Rau) while on their honeymoon... Loosely based on the real life exploits of the infamous Countess Bathory -- the "bloody countess" who slaughtered young virgin girls and bathed in their blood in order to sustain her youth. Daughters of Darkness is a stylish if strained attempt at an arty (read, classy) horror film. The ingredients are in place for an exploitation romp, but director Harry Kümel is more concerned with maintaining a glossy sheen than he is in indulging in anything too distasteful. The end result compares interestingly to other erotic vampire pictures of the period (1970's Vampyros Lesbos, 1974's Vampyres) but the fussy exterior simply makes the film harder to warm to. The visuals are admittedly stunning, but one gets the impression that the filmmakers are a little too apologetic for the material, and the genre in general, for the film to ever effectively spring to life. On the plus side, Kümel creates some great and fetching images. The use of color and decor ensure that the various set-pieces are richly detailed and striking. The enigmatic, but lovely, Delphine Seyrig (Last Year at Marienbad) makes a strong impression as the Countess. It's part Ingmar Bergman film and part bad vampire movie. There are some beautifully filmed scenes along with some awful dialogue. The brilliant Delphine Seyrig is superbly creepy. The other performances are only mediocre and the music is appropriately over the top; sometimes sinister, sometimes goofy- seventies movie. The new director's cut contains more sex and nudity, probably to avoid getting an x-rating at the time of release.Read more ›

Newlyweds Stefan and Valerie arrive at a Grand Hotel in Ostend for their honeymoon. Valerie keeps asking Stefan to inform his mother of the marriage, but he seems reticent. They are the only guests in the hotel until the arrival off the beautiful Countess Elizabeth Bathory(Delphine Seyrig) and her young companion Ilona(Andrea Rau). The Hotel clerk remembers the Countess staying at the hotel before, but that was forty years ago, when he was a young bellboy. He finds it remarkable that she looks exactly the same as she did then. The Countess corrects him saying that the guest back then must have been her mother. Meanwhile, a series of murders are being committed in Belgium. When the married couple visit Bruges, the body of a young woman is being taken out of an apartment. Stefan seems excited at witnessing the event, and is violent towards his wife when she tries to pull him away. As the marriage disintergrates, the Countess and Ilona see an oppurtunity to carry out plans of their own, plans that involve both Stefan and Valerie.
This is a quite beautiful film, each act of which seems like a moving painting seperated by a red curtain. It takes a very languid approach in telling its story, but to be honest who cares with the stunning imagery on display. The films story is relatively simple, but still manages to create quite a mystery, through its implicit rather than explicit exploration of the vampire mythos. Its also a very sensuous, erotic film, though once again not explicitly so. The performances are all good, but its Seyrig as Bathory who really excels, a mixture of sly cunning and deadly charm.
An excellent film, and an excellent release from Blue Underground. 5 out of 5

A young newly married couple, on their way to england stop off at a creepy belgian hotel that is almost totally empty of guests (and staff) except a porter and a pair of mysterious women who seem a little over-keen on the new guests. This is another take on carmilla that manages to rank alongside the blood spattered bride as one of the best euro-horror vampire titles around, with a Sense of mystery and suspense that kept me gripped. Also of note is the directors superb use of location especially the hotel itself which is one of the creepiest since the overlook.
