Daughters of Darkness (in France, Les Lèvres Rouges, and in Belgium, Les Rouges aux Lèvres) is a 1971 German-Belgium horror film, (spoken in English), directed by Harry Kümel. It is a highly styled erotic vampire movie, based on 'Camilla', the classical story of lesbian vampirism by Sheridan le Fanu.

Plot summary

A recently married young couple, Stefan (John Karlen) and Valerie (Daniele Ouimet), find themselves strained at a deserted grand hotel by the Belgian shore. Newly arrivals are a glamorous Hungarian countess, Elizabeth Báthory(Delphine Seyrig, channeling superbly Marlene Dietrich, and in a very convincing turn), and her 'secretaire' Ilona (Andrea Rau). An uncomforting seduction develops among the quartet, and the atmosphere soon subdues to sadism, murder and abandonment.
