5.0 out of 5 stars effective vampire tale., 17 Nov 2003
By S. Hapgood "www.sjhstrangetales.com" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Loosely based on the real-life Countess Elizabeth Bathory, who believed that bathing in the blood of virgins would keep her young and beautiful, this is a well-made Hammer offering, starring Ingrid Pitt as the wicked lady herself. She manages to play both bad-tempered old battleaxe, stamping around her castle in black mourning, to voluptuous, predatory siren with great ease. It can also be seen as a sort of fairy-tale allegory, with the Countess getting more evil, depraved and ugly everytime she commits another murder. Sandor Eles is the poor chap who is completely taken in by her, and Nigel Green is the old family friend who has the unenviable task of trying to persuade her that it's perhaps better, when all's said and done, to grow old gracefully. For all its bath-tubs of blood and corpses tumbling out of cupboards, this is still nowhere near as sadistic and bloodthirsty as the real legend was (and the punishment for the real-life Countess was far more terrifying than being hanged, she was walled up alive in her room), and for that we should be grateful for small mercies really!
