“These are the Daughters of Darkness… They are waiting for you – They thrive on blood!”

DramaHorrorThriller

Ostend, Belgium. In a decadent seaside hotel, Stefan and Valerie, a newlywed couple, meet the mysterious Countess Báthory and Ilona, her secretary.

A languid, sun-drenched dread permeates this erotic gothic. It feels like a fever dream of desire and decay, where beauty masks a predatory hunger. The air is thick with unspoken tension and a melancholic sensuality.
