Daughter of Darkness (Chinese: 滅門慘案之孽殺; pinyin: Mie men can an zhi nie sha) is a 1993 Hong Kong Category III horror film directed by Kai-Ming Lai. The film was released on 28 October 1993 in Hong Kong and was considered to be a sleeper hit. It stars Lily Chung as a young teenager who is suspected of murdering her family after years of enduring horrific abuse by them.

The film was followed with two sequels, the 1994 films Daughter of Darkness 2 (Mie men can an II jie zhong) and Brother of Darkness (Ti tian xing dao: Sha xiong). While Chung did not return for Daughter of Darkness 2, she did return for Brother of Darkness.

Synopsis

Set in a small village in China, a beautiful young seamstress, Mak Wei-Fong (Lily Chung), arrives at a police station to report the mass murder of her family. The police detective, Leoi Gei (Anthony Wong) investigates the murder and discovers that both of Mak's parents have been shot to death. He finds that the bullets used are the type that only a police officer would carry. He immediately suspects Mak’s boyfriend Gin, who is a young police officer on the force. When confronted by Detective Leoi, Gin confesses to the crime without hesitation and is placed under arrest. But because of Gin's quick admission and confession, Detective Leoi suspects that Gin may be sacrificing himself in order to protect the true culprit.

Two mentally ill women who are clearly suffering from not otherwise specified delusional disorders, a mother and a (grown) daughter, live together in a secluded mansion. They are in a relationship and both are recognised for their beauty. They spend their days playing perverse BDSM-related incestuous games in memory of their sadistic patriarch who, when he was still alive, raped his daughter when she was eleven, murdered several servants, and is now a mummified corpse with which the daughter is shown having sex. They occasionally kill their servants and bury their bodies in the garden.
