Movie Info

The infamous Countess Erzsebet Bathory, who is said to have maintained youth and beauty into her old age by bathing in the blood of virgins, has her life story told in a more balanced but still provocative manner in this grand-scale historical drama. Bathory, played by Anna Freil, is portrayed in three important episodes from her life. Bathory falls in love with the legendary artist Caravaggio (Hans Matheson) and attempts to win his heart, which doesn't much amuse her husband Ferenc Nadasy

Unrated, 2 hr. 15 min.

More of a cinematic curiosity than true blockbuster material, despite its scale.

Plays out more like a Monty Python comedy than a serious drama, with a subplot involving roller-skating friar-detectives that makes this already turgid 140-minute bore seem a whole lot longer.

Pretty good, gothic-y drama/thriller about the infamous Elizabeth Bathory. If you've never heard of her, Elizabeth Bathory was a countess in 17th Century Hungary who, according to myth/legend/whatever, tortured and killed loads of her virgin female servants and bathed in their blood as she believed it kept her looking

Enjoyable. Lovely costumes and beautiful to watch. Anna Friel was actually likable as the Countess. A tad bit long, but I got through it okay.
