Daughter of Darkness

Daughter of Darkness (1993) presents a harrowing portrait of familial abuse and societal neglect through the eyes of a tormented teenager. After enduring years of horrific abuse at the hands of her family and a brutal rape by her father, the girl stands accused of exacting a gruesome revenge. Director Claude Chabrol's cold, clinical lens strips away any veneer of respectability, exposing the seedy underbelly of a family's secrets and the systemic failures that enable such tragedy.
