Now’s your chance to win a Limited Edition 4K UHD/Blu-ray Box Set of Daughters of Darkness (1971) — newly restored in breathtaking 4K and packed with special features that explore Kümel’s hauntingly beautiful blend of horror, sensuality and high-art aesthetics.

Win a Limited Edition 4K/UHD Blu-ray of Daughters of Darkness

Set in an eerily deserted seaside hotel, Daughters of Darkness follows newlyweds Stefan (John Karlen) and Valerie (Danielle Ouimet) whose honeymoon takes a dark turn with the arrival of the enigmatic Countess Elizabeth Bathory (Delphine Seyrig). As night falls and secrets unravel, they’re drawn into a hypnotic world of seduction and vampiric terror. Acclaimed for its painterly visuals and queer gothic allure, Kümel’s masterpiece remains one of the most seductive vampire films ever made.

To celebrate the brand-new 4K restorations of Daughters of Darkness and Malpertuis — which premiered at London’s legendary FrightFest 2025 with Kümel in attendance — we’re giving one lucky winner the chance to own this deluxe collector’s edition before it vanishes into the night.
