Daughters of Darkness (Kumel, 1970): Prince Charles Cinema, 6pm

This delicious cult classic features in the Horroctober season at the cinema. Details here. Here is the excellent Geoffrey Macnab's article in the Independent on the movie.

Chicago Reader review:
Harry Kumel's stylish Belgian vampire film with a cult reputation (1971) is worth seeing for several reasons, not least of which is Delphine Seyrig's elegant lead performance as a lesbian vampire who operates a luxury hotel. The baroque mise en scene is also loads of fun; with Daniele Ouimet and Andrea Rau.
Jonathan Rosenbaum

Here (and above) is the trailer.
