daughters of darkness is a pitch perfect exercise in mood, tone and tension and, if you' re willing to let it work you over, it casts a slick, strange and chilly spell that sticks long after the screen has faded to red .
i saw daughters of darkness in the early nineties at the now - defunct and much - missed scala cinema in kings cross (the london equivalent of a grindhouse theatre. they used to show double bills of warhol, waters, russ meyer, kenneth anger, etc in its heyday). it made a vivid impression. some of the images are seared in my brain! hadn’t seen it in over twenty years and the hip gay bar the glory here in london recently organised a screening of it – so i finally got to re - visit daughters of darkness. what a truly great and original art movie! they did an unusual thing at the glory: they screened daughters of darkness with no audio and the subtitles on, and the musician helen noir provided a live eerie electronic soundtrack as the film unfolded. it was mesmerising! delphine seyrig is truly spectacular in it .
i can’t attest as to what a horror / vampire film fan makes of daughters of darkness (my sense is that it’s too slow and lacking in scares and gore to be satisfying); but everything about this movie is as suited to my tastes as a ken russell - roman polanski film festival .
“a classy genre of vampire film follows a style i call psychological high gothic. it begins in coleridge ‘s medieval christabel and its descendants, poe ‘s ligeia and james ‘s the turn of the screw. a good example is daughters of darkness, starring delphine seyrig as an elegant lesbian vampire. high gothic is abstract and ceremonious’ .

daughters of darkness is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea that is for sure. but if you are a lover of the vampire as the erotic there is going to be some appeal. the film had a strong feminine feel to it with the female cast outnumbering the male, and the distinctly feminist portrayal of the countess. to quote from wikipedia camille paglia writes that ,

shock: my goodness! such turmoil behind the scenes of such a controlled film. looking back on daughters as both a movie and an experience, what are your thoughts ?
all of this makes
daughters of darkness
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. the movie ends on a note of divine retribution, which is always nice in this sort of enterprise. the moral is, never take on a vampire with a car if all you' ve got is a bicycle .
great blu ray release of daughters of darkness, a film that is so beautiful to look at helped by it' s desolate seascape locations, elegant costuming & set design & wonderful cast with d. seyrig stealing every scene. blu ray also includes some interesting interviews with cast. also includes blood splattered bride as an extra that is uniqe in it' s own demented way .
one word, wtf. let me start by saying that i picked daughter of darkness up with the expectation and acknowledgment that it would be a very weird story. i figured it was a scrungy sort of book about a vampire “daddy” who adopts daughters for retrieval purposes. meaning, the daughters picked up poor suckers (being perverted guys looking for a one night stand) at a club, brought them home, and handed them to the vampire for his immortal needs. sounded original enough and i needed a new read. eeeks !
a while back i collaborated with a couple of bloggers on an article called 16 unusual vampire movies where we came up with a list of vampire films that break the norm of what we’ve come to expect from a vampire film. many interesting films where mentioned on that article, amongst them daughters of darkness which i’ve only recently had the pleasure of watching, and i say “pleasure” because i really enjoyed this film! i wasn’t expecting to, but damn it, i loved it !

it' s not clear just how long kümel has had the idea of making a sequel in his head, but when he presented several potential projects to producer tomas leyers of the production company minds meet, the first draft of the mothers of darkness screenplay was part of the presentation. when leyers read the script it
sparked the fire immediately to work on this project .
when i was a little girl, daddy told me never to fear the dark. “we exist because of the darkness, ” he told me. “all of you are daughters of darkness. ” beloved bestselling author v. c. andrews’s passion for vampires comes to spellbinding life in a long - awaited novel of dark desires as all - consuming—and forbidden—as in flowers in the attic. one night, with the sound of a young man’s scream, high school senior lorelei discovers that her stern but loving father, who adopted lorelei and her sisters as infants, is no ordinary man. he has raised his beautiful girls for one purpose: to lure young men into their world of shadows. like her sisters, lorelei has been trained in the art of seduction and warned never to fall in love. but when she meets a handsome and charming classmate, she boldly defies her family and follows her heart—even if love is a poison... . dangerously enticing and deliriously intoxicating, v. c. andrews’s daughter of darkness will leave readers thirsting for more .
if confronted with the fact that khadijah, (peace be upon her), wife of the prophet had only surviving daughters, and that indeed, ultimately muhammad (peace be upon him) had no male offspring, what does that say to this tradition? is there not also a hadith that a person who has 7 daughters is blessed? these things should show us the better way of equality and appreciating all things male and female .
an exotic, erotic re - working of the legend of vampire elisabeth bathor .
in daughters of darkness bathory is portrayed as a vampire, though not in the traditional way. we never see fangs, they don’t melt in the sunlight and they don’t sparkle when the moonlight hits them. no, the vampires in daughters of darkness are too ‘chic’ for that sort of thing. these vampire vixens worry more about how they’re going look and what they are going to wear before they indulge in their bloodlust. i liked that about this movie, these vampires ladies really play it cool. in a way they are closer to the way count dracula would behave in the old hammer dracula movies. you know, really polite, really pleasant, then when you’ve been lulled into a false sense of security “whamo! ” they attack! this elizabeth bathory as played by actress delphine seyrig, starts out like a pleasant lady, kind of sexy, kind of charming with her sultry whisper of a voice, but after a while she’ll really get under your skin! delphine seyrig really steals the show on this film as the countess; she’ll charm the hell out of you before you know it .
. we published it in all the dailies and all the public media. all the forces of darkness were mobilized and we were very confident that nothing was going to interrupt this meeting. in fact everything was well planned and there was no loophole .
in spite of their vast number and long history, i’m not sure i can name even five vampire movies i like. there’s andy warhol’s dracula (1974), werner herzog’s nosferatu the vampyre (1979), the hunger (1983), and… ok, looks like i hit the wall at three. well, make that four; for topping this very short list and ranking # 1 as my absolute favorite vampire movie of all time is belgian director harry kümel’s sleek, sexy, and exceedingly stylish daughters of darkness .

this is an anthem to all girls out there! it says on their official website, “daughters of darkness is an admission that women, like men, have their dark side.' even with the sweetest woman in the world, you click a switch somewhere, and she’s a little bit crazy or she has her secrets,' hale says.' and a lot of times you see these girls let all that stuff out at our concerts, which is really gratifying.'

review courtesy of all things urban fantasy this whole book made me…uncomfortable. the incestuous overtones that are present throughout daughter of darkness vary from subtle to overt. it’s big time creepy, and not in the fun paranormal way that we all love. more like dracula meets sister wives. the main characters were also somewhat off - putting: daddy for the obvious reasons, lorelei for her sheep - to - the - slaughter mentality that was so naïve and worshipful of daddy that i cringed constantly when she went on and on about competing with her other sexpot sisters for the position of being daddy’s best daughter. and we can’t forget the uber boring and needy romantic interest who was declaring his undying love on the second date. there were a couple of redeeming aspects of daughter of darkness. the question of who / what daddy is and the nature of his kind along with the mystery of his daughters (where did they all come from & what is their ‘final destiny’ ?) was genuinely intriguing and well plotted. despite there being no love lost between me and any of these characters, i had to know how the story ended. i had some suspicions, but the last chapter was truly shocking and very v. c. andrews. if you’re a fan of the books published under the andrews name, you’ll probably like the unsettling nature of daughter of darkness, but itwasn’t for me. sexual content: a couple brief, non graphic sex scenes. discussion of incest .

the name of jesus or the blood of jesus in the mouth of the believer sends out fire etc. the scripture says :
stylistically, daughters of darkness is a knockout, making subtle visual reference to other genre films and cinema in general. among them: hitchcock’s psycho, garbo, louise brooks, the horror tropes of f. w. murnau and tod browning, and dietrich’s von sternberg collaborations. it' s a film so comfortable in its self - awareness that at one point a character (the detective) breaks the fourth wall, looks directly into the camera, and identifies the film' s tone and wry perspective .
whether considered an arty trash film or a trashy art film (i personally think it’s a special kind of high - style pop masterpiece), daughters of darkness is a great deal of campy fun. i know next to nothing about harry kümel, but were i to go by the way this film makes me feel and how it engages me with its visuals, its sharp screenplay (credited to kümel, jean ferry, pierre druot, and manfred r. köhler), and seyrig’s knowing evocation of the film sirens of yesteryear; i would say he is a man who not only loves movies but understands them. it’s evident in every frame .

i wish i could remember what kind of theater played
daughters of darkness
when it was first released in sf in 1971. it' s just as likely it opened oat one of the grindhouses on market street as one of the arthouses which showed warhol and john waters movies. the silent screening you describe really sounds kind of marvelous. i have yet to see this beautiful film on a big screen, but would love to have seen it in such a unique way as you describe. it must have been mesmerizing! since posting this piece, i' ve become re - infatuated with seyrig and acquired several of her films that slipped by me in the past. spectacular is the word !
saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. and the lord said ,
my spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years .
i strongly disagree with the fact that men remarry to have sons. islam allowed men to marry up to 4 wives for a reason, for instance, if his wife can' t get pregnant. but the problem is that some men want to have sons rather than daughters. what' s that for? a child, whether he' s a boy or a girl, is a gift from god, why do some think of it as a tragedy? women are really suffering in our societies because of polygamy, and because of having daughters instead of having sons to rejoice their spouses .
having sisters and a daughters is a blessing. i was spoiled and pampered by my sisters. i miss that because allah has blessed me with three sons. i wish i had a daughter like my sisters .
she wrote:' i was very upset when i was told about the incident that was witnessed by [ my daughters ] when the door to the room [ jessa and ben ] were in was accidentally opened .
overall i enjoyed this book. i hope that there will be a sequel to explain more of the plot. daughter of darkness was in the spirit of most v. c. andrews books. the main character was not much of a role model until the end of the book. she was meek, weak, naive, childish, and boy crazy (instant true love). but, by the end of the book she had found her strength! pro: a great amount of mystery that kept me reading the book even through all of the things that annoyed me. an original take on vampire cu
near the end of the insistently weepy “fathers and daughters, ” aunt elizabeth (diane kruger, aged up with makeup) tells her niece katie (amanda seyfried), with a weariness that can only be cultivated by a life of disappointment, that “men, they can survive without love—but not us women. ”
i agree with you whole - heartily. we must look inside ourselves and practice the true islam and the message of prophet mohammed (pbuh) its odd to see the people who pray five time a day and fast but reject there wife and daughters and deem them to be
useless
, surely prophet mohammed' s (pbuh) greatest asset was his wife and daughter (bibi khatija and bibi fatima - ul zahra). as a society we can be more successful with the help of our wives and daughters. your essay is a step in the right direction of dialogue .
there’s a kind of predictable, to - be - expected adherence to form and structure that comes with the territory of genre films. filmmakers deviate from it at their own risk. as a movie fan, i can’t help but give historical credit to horror films in general for their vast stylistic influence on the art form, as such. but as a non - fan of vampire films, it helped a great deal that i came to daughters of darkness with little in the way of expectations and devoid of an awareness of any vampire film
traditions
i longed to see upheld. i simply hoped the film wouldn’t live up to its limp u. s. ad campaign and that cheesy title, which made the film sound like a made - for - tv movie starring donna mills and kay lenz .
to conclude therefore: when in i peter 3: 19 we read that jesus went and preached to the spirits in prison, we should not read into it dead people living in a prison, without resurrection, and jesus going to them to preach the good news. what the word of god is speaking in i peter 3: 19 is not about dead people but about spirits, angelic beings that are in a prison, in the tartarus, bound in everlasting chains under darkness. why? because of what they did in the times of noah, leaving their own habitation, giving themselves over to fornication and going after “strange flesh”, after the daughters of men .
one for the goths daughters of darkness just oozes an understated gothic charm which instantly captured my heart. in a movie which my co - blogger described as ‘too arty’ for his tastes, i found that the stylistic quality of this film really made it for me, and i can see why it has become a cult favourite in recent times. directed by harry kumel this is a belgium horror affair with a strong european cast. the film was originally released in france under the title les lèvres rouges, and in belgium as le rouge aux lèvres, both which translate to ‘red lips’, titles befitting the erotic nature of this film .

even a casual glance at the titles of actual horror movies reveals the genre' s marked emphasis on gender. there are, to be sure, some genderless monsters—the blobs, parasites, gremlins, and so forth—but gender - specific monsters clearly predominate: weird woman (1944) and she freak (1966); the wolf man (1941) and the ape man (1943); and, of course, the legions of dracula' s sons and daughters of darkness. in many horror movies the politics of sexual difference is immediately signaled as an issue by the title, as in bride of frankenstein (1935), the monster and the girl (1941), jesse james meets frankenstein' s daughter (1966), and jack' s wife (1972). think of he knows you' re alone (1980) with a feminine pronoun instead of the masculine, and the importance of gender to the genre becomes clear .

i believe the author made the mistake of not pointing out that this serious problem is not the result of islam; it is due to the ignorance of islam and the adoptation of the customs and traditions of the south asian subcontinent taking precedence over islamic values .
bismillahir rahmanir raheem salaam alaykum wa ramadan mubarek. i agree with the author. a teacher of mine used to say that when we look to other cultures we should take the best from them and leave behind the bad aspects. i have been struggling with this topic for quite a while now. if it clearly says in the quran that the practice of infanticide of daughters is haram does that not indicate that, even from the start, they should be treated as equal human beings? there is no islamic justification for the treatment of daughters in the manner described in the article. islam is supposed to improve the conditions under which we all live and to teach all of us how to better serve allah. it says the best of you is the most pious, not the best of you men is the most pious. i lead the jummah prayers to a small group of people, most of whom have come to the us from other contries. they rarely, if ever bring their wives and daughters. my wife is almost always there. i have been wanting for a long time to encourage them to bring wives and daughters, this is a new country, we need to change things now. this is not bidah, there is plenty of quran and sahih hadith to support it. this article has let me look more deeply at my own role here. i will be writing a khutbah on this topic and encouraging people to all come to our jummah. wa allahu alim .

daughters of darkness tells the tale of a recently married couple who end up staying in a deserted hotel for a couple of days. unbeknownst to them, a vampire vixen by the name of elizabeth bathory checks into the hotel as well; yup, that’s right, that elizabeth bathory; the countess who bathed in the blood of her young female victimes so she could retain her youth forever. some reports say she killed about 650 young girls, though when she was convicted, she was only charged for 80 deaths. her similarities with the famous ‘vlad the impaler’ led to her being named ‘the blood countess’ and even ‘countess dracula’. in reality she probably only killed these young girls out of pure sadistic pleasure, but you know how legends go, and so it wasn’t long before people started to say that she bathed in the blood of her female victims, and eventually that she drank it as well .
when islam came we woman had been given a high status in life. for allahswt knew the way daughters were treated and wifes, when a woman gave birth of a girl the husband felt ashamed and humyliated and buried it under sand and qur' an says that was not allowed and a huge sin .
when we hear the word “confession, ” we easily think of sin. the dictionary definition of confession is :

thanks very much for giving such a true account of islamic societies now a days. unfortunately we are no better than pre - islamic arabs who use to bury their daughters alive for the shame. islam came to lay that burden off from humanity and liberate them. we need to look back and follow true islamic teachings .
thus a collection of essays on the horror film focusing specifically on issues of gender is both likely and timely. the writings gathered here provide examples of the various theoretical models and critical methods that have gained currency in the analysis of the genre. as well, they offer a balance of theoretical generalizations about the genre with close readings of particular films. collectively they include discussions of many of the important films and directors known for their work in the genre .

dear brother malik who wrote this article needs to make it clear that this is not traditional islam. the preference of having boys over girls is not part of islamic tradition, history of the past. islam came to abolish such abominations. for a father to have daughters, is a blessing, for muslims; allah (swt) gives fathers success in the afterlife, if he raises them to obey allah, and obey them, the parents .
the thing is, sometimes you do. melodrama can have its merits when the players are good, and “fathers and daughters” is top - heavy with acting talent. the father - daughter chemistry between crowe and rogers feels natural whether they' re hugging or fighting, and seyfried' s expressive performance transforms a role that seems borrowed from a lifetime potboiler into something much more empathetic. brad desch' s screenplay for “fathers and daughters” made the black list in 2012, and director gabriele muccino (“ seven pounds, ” “the pursuit of happyness”) has ample experience with this sort of material. it' s lavishly shot and styled. it' s nice to look at .
and international production directed by belgian filmmaker harry kumel, daughters rode the then hot torrent of films that riffed on j. sheridan lefanus story carmilla and brought its suggested lesbianism to the forefront, allowing a more permissive decade to drift through exotic locations and lush interiors with equally dreamy european actresses pressing their flesh together whilst simultaneously biting and bleeding .

rehmat is a forty year old lady who has developed symptoms of depression. she has been married for over twenty years and her husband now plans to get remarried. her fault: she has borne him three daughters and no son. he, now, desperately wants a son and believes, and his parents believe too, that a second wife will most certainly produce one for him. a relationship of twenty years with all the emotional investment that rehmat bibi has made in it over the years is soon going to end. her daughters, who are now grown up, can sense the tension at home. when they see their mother crying they hold themselves responsible for her misery. is it a crime to be a daughter ?
in a broad sense, this project is part of a series of efforts to chart cult film, fandom, and their impacts on and importance for the outlook and status of popular culture today .
terrific recommendations from others commenting. i saw daughters of darkness at a drive - in as well. my co - feature though was let’s scare jessica to death. tonally, i think it’s a pretty good double bill, and if you haven’t seen that one, i’d recommend it. highly! one of the dvd documentaries for dod is a revisit to the hotel. at the time of the dvd release, it was still standing, and in business. you’re really going to want to stay there. as for the beguiling delphine seyrig, when last year at marienbad was shown at the bleecker street cinema in new york city, in the early 80s, a reel was out of order and no one noticed. i do admire that movie very much, but i think my favorite seyrig is chantal akerman’s jeanne dielman. a marathon performance, and if one is prepared for it, it’s completely immersive .

! one can' t truly enjoy a v. c. andrews book because it will have incest, overstated teen angst, and a rags to riches tale. v. c. andrews should have allowed her books to be laid to rest, too. can' t we let her rest ?

it' s the lines like these—statements that sounds profound, but mean next to nothing—that really sink “fathers and daughters. ” if it didn' t so obviously want to be a serious adult drama, leaned into its own melodrama with zest, it could have been pretty good. as it is, it feels like a misfire that' s trying just a little too hard to be oscar bait. but in some ways that' s what makes it watchable: put great actors in a middling film, and you' ve still got some fine performances to watch. pair “fathers and daughters” with a bottle of wine and a friend on a rainy night, and it will work just fine .
i knew some people were more happy with the birth of a son than a daughter but never thought it was that ridiculous. that is not islam that i know. the quarn does say not to kill your daughters and that male and females are equal, i guess we are equal in allahs sight not our parentseyes i can understand how this vicious cycle can continue those moms are in need of our and allah' s support to change. speak up
of course, the horror evoked by such images of monstrous penetration of the bedroom also articulates, on one level, the generalized fear, at least in western culture, that monsters are bred by the sleep of reason. to be in the state of sleep is, in effect, to surrender one' s identity—a fundamental fear exploited by the horror film (consider, again, that memorable scene in invasion of the body snatchers) —and hence to be in a position of extreme vulnerability, as in the shower. such fears have informed many of the sweeping assertions made about the genre. horror films have been seen as nothing less than grand metaphysical morality plays that embody the residual manifestation of ancient religious thinking in the age of science or that bring us to an acceptance of the inevitability of death. certainly horror films are about such great themes, but the experience of horror in the cinema is almost always grounded in the visual representation of bodily difference .

well written article, but at time there seems to be some over generalizations. indeed we should focus on the plight of our sisters and remedy the suffering and oppression that many of them are subjected to in the name of islam. the reason behind the misperceptions about islam in many parts of the non - arab speaking muslim world is the lack of proper understanding due to a language barrier and a reliance on religious authorities of dubious credentials, and secondly a result of local customs .

it is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness. we need to realize that until we stop ceaselessly blaming others and instead take on the responsibility to bringing about the required social change upon our own selves, the birth of a daughter will continue to strike as a calamity in many homes, some parents may reluctantly accept it, the others may not, but the pain will be there all the same.
