I've gotta admit Vault Dwellers, I'm kind of out of my element on this one as I've never seen DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS before, but if it's good enough for Bill Lustig to release, then I guess it's good enough for me to watch! Harry Kumel's artsy tale of vampirism truly received the royal treatment for this release, which boasts a 4K restoration struck from an original negative, various new & existing bonus features, a lenticular cover, collectible booklet, and the soundtrack CD! If any of that piqued your curiosity or made you drool a tad, then keep reading to learn more about this latest addition to Blue Underground's catalog!

Synopsis: International screen icon Delphine Seyrig (LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD) 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 (Canadian 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 Kümel, DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS remains one of the most exquisitely mesmerizing adult horror films ever made.
