Arthouse meets Grindhouse. Daughters of Darkness transcends its vampire genre trappings (they’re in the movie, just not at the forefront) for a more psychological/psychosexual approach—plunging us headfirst into a hyper-stylized gothic fever dream equal parts haunting and…

I finished this movie three hours ago and have been trying to think of a review that isn’t just “yes vampire mommy” but I simply have to throw in the towel

75 On the edge of an abyss. Hypnotic Euro horror, with the hotel setting being a ghostly landmark of the divide between life and death. Pacing so perfect, all you can do is luxuriate in the images.

Absolutely, utterly obsessed with this movie that is mostly just four people faffing about in an empty hotel.

A fairly stylish adult vampire movie, and Delphine Seyrig (last seen wandering about a resort hotel in Last Year at Marienbad) is a most satisfactory vampire.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

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.
