Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Michael Ledo After the recent passing of her mother, Katherine (Mia Sara) decides to travel to Romania to find the father she never knew. Guided by dreams she is lead to Anthony Perkins with a Dracula accent. 35 minutes into the film, the "V" word is used and things are not hard to figure out from the plot spoiler title. Katherine plays "Mrs. Columbo" to locate her father who may or may not be dead.IMDb lists it as a TV movie which accounts for the lame sound track and mediocre plot.This movie about Romania is part of a multi-pack called "15 American Horror." Parental Guide: No f-bombs. Brief sex and nudity.

callanvass (Credit to Paul Lancaster) The Daughter of Darkness is an atmospheric, sub-hallucinogenic venture into the world of the unknown. The enigma facing the young woman is the identity of her father. Unfortunately for her she becomes drawn into a small Romanian underworld of brooding menace, darkness, torture chambers and bizarrely over make-overed vampires. This was actually not too shabby! The first half is a little slow, but never really boring. The second half really picks up and turns into a watchable, made for TV movie. I watched this because of Anthony Perkins! He's one of my favorites and I've tried to track this movie down for a while. This movie is very low-budget. It's also cheap looking (What do you expect from a movie that is filmed in Bucharest?) The Vampires themselves are not very creepy looking and feel somewhat out-of-place in the modern world. Placing vampires in a contemporary setting didn't work all that well in this movie. The makeup is poor and the low-budget really shows in that aspect of it. I liked how the vampires bit with their tongue, it was creative, I'll admit that. The creepy dream sequences provide a couple of thrills, though they do get a tad redundant at times. There is also some hallucinatory imagery that works, as well as some creepy atmosphere at times. Mia Sara is OK at best. She's great to look at, but she's on and off for the most part. She's slightly sympathetic, but she doesn't have the talent to pull it off. I like her, but not exactly for her acting. Anthony Perkins is nowhere near his best, but he can be entertaining, even when he's clearly here for the paycheck. His accent is average, but his presence alone keeps you glued to the screen. It was always livelier when he was around. This was one of his obscure T.V projects before his untimely demise. Jack Coleman is alright as the love interest, but I got annoyed at his cavalier attitude. If you stick with the slow first half, you'll be semi-rewarded with a solid second half. I didn't mind it and thought it passed the time decently for a TV movie. You can do better, but you could also do a lot worse5.3/10

Cinema_Lover I remember Daughter of Darkness from 1990, I was 14 at the time (hard to believe that part of the 90s is 15 years ago!) and I found to be a very compelling film. This was a great little flick by made for TV standards, and they had a unique take on vampire lore. From what I remember, the vampire's tongue had some sort of fangs or pricks on it. I remember this film being VERY sexy too. It turned me on at age 14 back then. I would probably think it's stupid today, but I would still love to watch this again. I wish I could say more about this movie, but I just don't remember enough. It aired on CBS from what I remember. What I was doing watching CBS at age 14 back in 1990 I can't tell you. In 1990 CBS was still the 45+ year old peoples channel.

Sara S. It's been many years since I've seen this movie. I would love to watch it again. It's good for anyone who likes the Vampire lore. The acting is pretty good, and Mia Sara and Anthony Perkins are great! This movie shows another side to vampires.
