Daughters of Darkness

Les Lèvres Rouges
1971 / 100m - Belgium
Horror
2.5*/5.0*
Daughters of Darkness poster

Stylish horror film shot in Oostende by a director with roots in Antwerp. Yes, I probably should've watched this a lot sooner, but then I never cared much for classic Belgian cinema. I was proven (somewhat) wrong by Daughters of Darkness though. This wasn't too bad, despite some rough patches.

The performances are terrible and the horror elements are quite tame. But the setting is moody and the presentation is quite stylish. Kümel does a good job establishing a mysterious atmosphere but fails to deliver when it matters. If you like the colorful Argentos, you'll probably have a good time with this one too.
