Daughters of Darkness description Art-movie goddess Delphine Seyrig (Last Year at Marienbad) slinks through the plush Eurotrash settings as the deathless Elizabeth Bathory, Vampire Countess, in Harry Kümel's minor Dutch classic of lesbian erotic-gothic. Blood mingles with water during the languorous shower scenes. Set at an upper-crust seaside resort, the 1971 film recounts Bathory's plot to replace her current consort (Andrea Rau) with a fresher specimen, an abused newlywed whose brutal young husband is an inconvenience waiting to be eliminated. Although both the bi-sex and the neck-biting violence are tame by today's standards, the film has a graceful, gliding sense of pace that gets under your skin; something unspeakably kinky always seems to be just about to happen. It never quite does, but the mood lingers. See it with someone you love--or would like to. --David Chute |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Genuinely Good Movie |
| I struggled a bit with how many stars to give this. The quality, both technical and plot, were surprisingly good. The sound and music were super.
That said, and this will seem a bit coarse, I like my trash to be trashier than this. When I think "lesbian vampire," I don't think about it being implied. I think about it being a bit more in my face than in my head. I did like that a bit of the dialogue is in a Rob Zombie song. I had wondered where that sound byte came from. EDIT: The song is Living Dead Girl. "What are you thinking about?" vhttbbb dddbbb "Same thing you are." A fine film that I will watch again, I was just surprised at how tame it was. EDIT: I finally got around to watching The Blood Spattered Bride that came as a bonus disc in the same packaging. I am amazed, but I liked it far better than Daughters. BSB is down right creepy. At no point was Daughters frightening, but BSB? I'll watch it again (and I think my wife may like it) before I watch Daughters. |
