bill t @Spuzz 12/11/2022 Quite a bit of a dull vampire movie where a countess makes a deal with a vampire to kill virgins so she can bathe in their blood to have young skin! This movie just plods along.. Has minor shocks, but mostly boring dialogue and everyone seems bored as hell.

See more 04/07/2014 Ceremonia Sangrienta (Blood Castle) (Jorge Grau, 1973) Jorge Grau is best remembered in English-speaking countries for the utterly ridiculous The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue, one of the silliest zombie movies of all time. Ceremonia Sangrienta is likely his second-best-known movie, Grau's take on the tale of Erzebet Bathory, the countess who believed she could keep herself young by bathing in the blood of virgins. Now, before I say this, your mileage may vary, and mine does on occasion, but the thing about these two Grau films (IMDB tells me he's made twenty-eight more; I haven't stumbled across any of them) that rubbed me the wrong way is his insistence on taking a shoestring budget and still trying to come up with realistic-looking scenery. Man, if you can't afford to rent an actual medieval castle, don't build one out of styrofoam and color it grey, either work with a room or two or modernize your story and put your new Bathory in Polish block housing. (Hey, Polish block housing worked great for Kieslowski's movies, don't knock it.) I know some folks find that charming. I'm not one of them. The same can be said of the woeful acting to be found here, though that does tend to be offset by the oodles of attractive young things, even if you'll have a hard time believing any of them were virgins by 1973. Can you believe Lucia Bosé had, just five years previously, worked with Fellini? * 1/2 See more 11/25/2011 Not the greatest Bathory movie, especially up against the much better Countess Dracula or Daughters Of Darkness. Silly and confusing, but enjoyable for the cheese factor if nothing else. See more 04/11/2010 Spansk skräck är väldigt bra, helst frÃ¥n den här tiden, fina miljöer, drama, romantik, blod, snusk och annat helvete, rekommenderas varmt. See more 06/19/2008 One of the best Spanish horror movies. With Espartaco Santoni! See more Read all reviews
