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.
Cast: Delphine Seyrig, John Karlen, Danielle Ouimet

Obviously a lot of problematic stuff on and off the screen here. . . but I kinda liked it a lot. I'm a sucker for empty hotels too. If you are ok with kind of a lot of 70's violence towards women, then this is a great, sexy vamp flick
I know the vampires are the villains in this movie but Stefan is the biggest POS of a husband. Beating his wife and Valerie (his wife) just lets it happen. Bc this was the 70’s.
top 5 vampire movie of all time for me
