Daughters of Darkness
Directed by Harry Kümel
In this 1971 erotic Euro-horror classic, a pair of newlyweds become the targets of the vampire Countess Bathory and her female lover, who’ve been draining local vixens of their blood for centuries. But the Countess has bigger plans for the couple, and so she begins cleverly pitting them against each other until she can strike. Arthouse icon Delphine Seyrig’s Dietrich-meets-DeSade-ian embodiment of the Countess and director Harry Kümel’s chilling fusion of surreal and expressionist horror elements helped turn DOD into a critical success and a still-treasured cult hit.
A pair of newlyweds become the targets of a bloodthirsty vampire countess and her female lover.

Great campy vampire movie!
I watched to whole movie. That's about it. Nothing in it really made any sense.
Can`t stand Englished dubbed movies
Great movie it was just great pacing with cool characters who were not too over the top. Vampire flick worth watching once.
I loved it I was anticipating watching it for some time because I'm one of the few who liked the velvet vampire I knew I'd love this movie. It was very serious yet not too silly but kind of subtle and cool, characters were not too over the top but fun . I thought it was erotic but not in your face raunchy, it had nice build up to an intense final act with a cool ending. Five skulls.
