Daughter of Darkness (1990 TV Movie)
Bloodline...
29 July 2021
Katherine Thatcher (Mia Sara) travels to Romania in search of her father. During her quest, Katherine is haunted by nightmares of a hooded, faceless man. Adding to her problems is the fact that she has arrived in Romania during the reign of Ceausescu, meaning that the country is a police state.

Katherine meets Anton (Anthony Perkins), who appears to have known her father. Running afoul of the government, Katherine attracts the attention of the secret police. At every turn, she finds her search thwarted by forces both earthly and otherwise.

Director Stuart Gordon has created a devilish supernatural thriller, complete with vampirism and other ghoulish goings-on. Ms. Sara is convincing in her harried role, and Perkins is as oddly twitchy as ever.

Though it suffers from a few dead spots and a bit of meandering, there's enough chilly atmosphere to make up for it...
