Review of Daughters of Darkness (1971) by Jayden C — 27 Nov 2006
I was supremely disappointed with this movie.
Many reviews made it out to be some understated masterpiece of gothic horror and eroticism, but it is neither gothic nor erotic. It's really just bad.
It's supposed to be something about Elizabeth Bathory terrorizing a newly wed couple...but when the sadistic personality of the husband is more frightening than Elizabeth Bathory - a vampire who bathes in the blood of women in order to stay young forever - you have a problem.
There's no plot, and nothing actually happens until about 30 minutes before the movie is over.
And the woman who played Bathory was painfully bad.
This movie had the potential to be so great - I have been greatly interested in Bathory ever since I did a project on her back in high school - but man oh man was this movie lame.
And I think it could also win an award for one of the weirdest deaths ever.
