The Redemption label has confirmed that it will release on Blu-ray cult Spanish director Jess Franco's film
Dracula's Daughter a.k.a.
La fille de Dracula (1972), starring Britt Nichols, Howard Vernon, Anne Libert, Alberto Dalbés, and Daniel White. The release is expected to arrive on the U.S. market later this summer.
Synopsis: A series of murders take place in a remote European village which the locals believe to be the work of vampires and which the police dismiss as nonsense. The murders coincide with the arrival of the beautiful Luisa Karlstein (Britt Nichols) who has been summoned by the imminent death of her mother, Baroness Karlstein, who tells her daughter the family secret, that they are all vampires!
Loosely based on the classic Sheridan le Fenu short story
Carmilla, Franco's tale of lesbianism and vampirism is, it must be said, a disjointed and hotch-potch affair filmed almost back-toback with the
The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein. Yet, despite its flaws, it maintains enough of Franco's classic languid and dreamlike otherworldliness to include it among Franco's classic titles.
