Daughters of Darkness is a 1971 English-spoken Belgian horror film. Directed by Harry Kümel, this cult erotic vampire film stars Delphine Seyrig, Danielle Ouimet, John Karlen, and Andrea Rau. The story features a newlywed couple that stops at a posh French hotel on their way to England. They meet a beautiful red-lipped woman whom the hotel owner swears had been there 40 years ago, even though she hasn’t aged. She introduces herself as Countess of Bathory and folks begin to wonder.
Its score was created by multiple award winning composer François
de Roubaix, who is seen as a precursor of the French electronic music
next to his jazz expertise. Years after its original release, the music was
picked up and sampled by several hip hop artists, such as Ice-T, AbSoul and Lil Wayne. Critics, actors and directors call it one of the best
horror movies ever made. A retrospective poll by Time Out in the early
2010s placed the film at number 90 in their top 100 horror films.
