The Redemption label has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of 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 will be available for purhcase on October 4.

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-to-back 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.

Special Features:

NEW Audio commentary by film historian Tim Lucas
Alternate safe footage (less sexually explicit)

Am looking forward to this!

I wonder if Kino managed to get the rights to the first part of the series, Dracula: Prisoner of Frankenstein?

Watching now. So far, so good.
