DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS (LIMITED EDITION)

Newlyweds Stefan and Valerie are travelling through Europe when they make a detour to a deserted seaside hotel. Their romantic idyll takes a dark turn when they meet the enigmatic countess B thory (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 K mel's vampire tale transcends convention and is presented in a stunning 4K restoration for the first time in the UK.
