6½ Not as good as the first but watchable
I really enjoyed the first Daughter of Darkness. This follow-up misses the mark but has it's moments.
The first was a combination of comedy, crime drama, horror & sexploitation film. This one leaves out the horror except a little violence. The comedy again is represented by the police using slapstick, mostly the first 15 or so minutes and wasn't funny at all. It was just stupid & crude humor. The worst part of the entire movie.
Again the story is a family found brutally killed and the investigation begins. From there it takes a different path. While the rest is interesting there was a larger emphasis on the sex and sex scenes which are important to the plot. They just seemed to go on too long. A couple of other scenes I personally found upsetting but should have expected it.
The female lead was outstanding. The rest were hit or miss.
I'd still recommend this film. Would just say to fast-forward when the slapstick humor begins.
