Movie review - "Daughter of Darkness" (1971) **1/2

This European film has a strong reputation, mostly because of its creepy atmosphere, the lesbian touches and the fact that we never know if the killers are vampires - and the fact that the lesbian "vampire" is a lot nice than the abusive husband. I guess I didn't like it because of some erratic acting and the lack of likable characters.
Although it all seems European the married couple were played by an American and Canadian. The guy participates in a lively commentary on the DVD - like a lot of actors he goes on about how he looks a bit too much. He also clashed with the sadistic director. It has a moody atmosphere and some effective moments but a bit too much sadism for me.
