\"\"<\/a>Fury<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t the best war drama around, not even in the top 5, but it\u2019s still well made and features a great cast, with Brad Pitt delivering a fine performance (one of his best in some time), that elevates the writing while Ayer\u2019s direction keeps the pacing just right.<\/p>\n

THE MOVIE \u2014 2\u00bd\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>Elizabeth Bathory (DELPHINE SEYRIG) is an ageless Countess with a beautiful young \u2018companion\u2019 (ANDREA RAU) and a legendary legacy of perversion. But when the two women seduce a troubled newlywed couple (DANIELLE OUIMET and JOHN KARLEN), they unleash a frenzy of sudden violence and depraved desire.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: Daughters of Darkness<\/em><\/strong> it seems has a bit of a cult following with plenty of high praise. Personally, while it is competently enough directed by Harry K\u00fcmel though character motivations, even before falling under the Countess\u2019s spell, were a tad weird, Stefan (Karlen) especially, such as his odd fascination with a woman found dead, unless I missed something, and not to mention issues with his \u201cmother\u201d. Came across a bit random and no real payoff unless it was done as a red herring\u2026<\/p>\n

In any case, I can\u2019t say I wasn\u2019t fascinated with the film and it does take a more subdued turn as a vampire flick. Plus, the performances were all rather good, headlined by Delphine Seyrig and Danielle Ouimet, both had some solid scenes together.<\/p>\n
