Daughter of Darkness

Limited Edition, Region B

Renowned Irish actor Siobhán McKenna gives an eerie performance as a troubled young woman with murderous, psychotic impulses in this transgressive, gothic, post-war horror.

Emmy Baudine's magnetic attraction to the opposite sex causes her to be run out of rural Ireland by intolerant locals. But her violent reaction to intimacy soon catches up with her in the shape of a face from the past – a face ruinously scarred by Emmy's fingernails.

Featuring strong supporting performances, chiaroscuro cinematography and a moodily evocative score, Daughter of Darkness has been painstakingly restored by Hammer from 2K scans made from the original film negatives. This brand-new 2K restoration is available here for the first time anywhere in the world on Blu-ray.

• Brand-new artwork by Liza Shumska
• Limited edition O-card packaging
• English subtitles on the main feature
