Movie Reviews of Daughters of Darkness (2-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: Delicious Euro-trash fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
Daughters of Darkness(1971) is a hoot! Delphine Seyrig(1932-1990) perfectly channels the sixteenth-century Countess Elizabeth Bathory, now living in 1970. The countess and her companion, Ilona Harzcy, have eyes for Valerie, newly married to Stefan, who has secrets of his own. Interestingly, the real Elizabeth Bathory was accused in the death of an Ilona Harzcy, a minor noblewoman and teenage singer around 1600. A game cast enlivens this morbid thriller with erotic overtones.
Summary of Daughters of Darkness (2-Disc Special Edition)
International screen icon Delphine Seyrig (of LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD fame) stars as Elizabeth Bathory, an ageless Countess with a beautiful young 'companion' (Goth goddess Andrea Rau) and a legendary legacy of perversion. But when the two women seduce a troubled newlywed couple (French beauty Danielle Ouimet and John Karlen of DARK SHADOWS and CAGNEY & LACEY), they unleash a frenzy of sudden violence and depraved desire that shocked both art house audiences and grindhouse crowds worldwide.Co-written and directed by Harry Kumel, DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS remains one of the most exquisitely mesmerizing adult horror films ever made. Blue Underground is proud to present the Director's Cut of this classic psychosexual shocker newly remastered in High Definition and packed with Extras, including brand new interviews with Harry Kumel, Danielle Ouimet, and Co-Writer/Co-Producer Pierre Drouot. Also included is a Bonus Disc featuring THE BLOOD SPATTERED BRIDE, a haunting shocker of reincarnation, lesbianism and violent murder from Writer/Director Vicente Aranda (LOVERS).
Art-movie goddess Delphine Seyrig (Last Year at Marienbad) slinks through the plush Eurotrash settings as the deathless Elizabeth Bathory, Vampire Countess, in Harry K?mel'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
