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 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 and formally adventurous, Harry Kümel’s vampire tale transcends convention. It is presented at FilmFear in a stunning 4K restoration.
This screening will begin at the advertised time with no adverts or trailers.
