HALLOWEEN ISSUE:
Newlyweds Stefan and Valerie are travelling through Europe when they make a detour to a deserted seaside hotel. Their romantic idyll soon takes a dark turn when they meet the enigmatic countess Báthory (Delphine Seyrig, Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles) and her mysterious companion Ilona, whose unsettling charm and aristocratic poise mask a deadly intent. A Euro-horror classic, Daughters of Darkness is an opulent fever dream, weaving a Sapphic subtext and feminist undercurrent beneath its baroque surface. Thematically rich. Harry Kümel’s vampire tale transcends convention and the stunning 4K restoration is presented here for the first time in the UK.
OUR THOUGHTS:
This is must-see cinema for those in the “Creative Set.” The color-scape of the sets and mood of the film are very inspiring for your projects. Sexy and moody reflections on the sadness of vampirism and it’s cunning nature too. Someone making a film inspired from this would do quite well. Just add more male nudity and some male victims too.
