Critic Reviews

Jerry Renshaw

Daughters of Darkness is a superb, elegant, and sexy vampire movie; its deliberate pace only adds to its overall impact. Read full review

Scott Tobias

This psychologically dense, genuinely erotic vampire thriller lacks fangs, but it has plenty of bite. Read full review

Keith Phipps

Strikingly shot and notable for Seyrig's monstrous, Dietrich-like character, Daughters is a psychosexual horror film that's gripping almost up to the very end. Read full review

Ted Mahar

This is decidedly not for everyone, but many consider it an offbeat classic. [03 Nov 2006, p.45]

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

One of the best of many early 1970s vampire movies inspired by Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla, Daughters of Darkness is remarkable not only for its eroticism, but for Kumel's stunning visual style, reminiscent of that of Josef von Sternberg. Read full review

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Harry Kumel's stylish Belgian vampire film with a cult reputation (1971) is worth seeing for several reasons, not least of which is Delphine Seyrig's elegant lead performance as a lesbian vampire who operates a luxury hotel. The baroque mise en scene is also loads of fun. Read full review

Tom Costner

About the only thing to praise in Daughters is the way Seyrig looks: she is stunning in soft focus, chiffon, and egret. The dialogue and plot demands are unsurmountable burdens even for an actress as accomplished as she is. [01 Jul 1971, p.51]
