Product Description

Product Description

Hammer Horror starring Ingrid Pitt in her defining role as the Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Bathory - who is reported to have murdered over 600 young girls. Bathory discovers that bathing in the blood of virgins keeps her looking youthful and arranges for the kidnapping of her own daughter, Ilona (Lesley-Anne Down), in order to use her blood. She takes on Ilona's identity and seduces a young man but the supply of blood needs constant topping up otherwise Bathory will age vigorously.

3.0 out of 5 starsNot the best but an interesting film.
By Max VINE VOICE on 22 April 2011
Format: DVD
While not Hammer's greatest film it is nonetheless an interesting film for those who's taste for horror goes beyond the classics.

Based on the legend of Countess Bathory (who bathed in the blood of virgins in order to retain her youth) the standout performance from Ingrid Pitt drives the film along.

Alongside Pitt is Nigel Green (who plays the aging Countess' would be lover). Green, best known for his wonderful performance in Zulu, shows he's a fine performer even in lesser films. Also watch out for a small cameo from Niké Arrighi (The Devil Rides Out).

Made in the 70's its full of what was en vogue at the time, blood, screaming and topless women. This is not to do it a disservice as there's nothing silly or 'soft-porn' about it really. It remains, in true Hammer style, atmospheric and spooky.

It's major downfall is the pacing of the film, there's too little of interest happening for too long. Other Hammers have used the hour and a bit length to perfection and squeezed in plenty of thrills. However Countess Dracula starts well and fizzles out until its climactic end. It's a shame as the actors deserved better (particularly Ingrid Pitt). It's still got a nice charm and some very entertaining scenes but not one of the classics I'm afraid.

4.0 out of 5 starsA Bathory of Blood
By Mr. Jonathon T. Beckett on 27 Aug. 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
In this tale, a mixture of historical fact and legend, Hammer queen Ingrid Pitt plays the wicked Countess Nodosheen(based on the fact/fiction of Countess Bathory), who discovers a new beauty treatment. Its red, comes in 9 pint packs, and does wonders for the complexion. Its not easy to come by though, as not any old blood will do, only that from virgin veins.
She becomes young and beautiful again, but is just as wicked inside, imprisoning her own daughter, and impersonating her, and murdering her way through her subjects, aided and abetted by the devious Captain Dobi, who loves the Countess enough to kill for her.
This is a lavish production, and boasts a fine cast. There is a memorable performance by Maurice Denham as the wily old court librarian Fabio, but all the cast give their all. It isnt my favourite Hammer film, but is very enjoyable, and easy on the eye

5.0 out of 5 starsUnderrated Hammer Classic
By Ceallaigh on 28 Oct. 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I know when people think of Hammer they would normally think of the films with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, the Dracula and Frankenstein ones, and the Quatermass films, and perhaps One Million Years BC and Vampire Lovers, but for me, despite having not got round to watching all of the films in my Hammer Ultimate Collection yet, this has to be up there as one of their best films.

Many will be familiar with the infamous Countess Bathory and the legends surrounding her similar to those of Vlad Tepes, and given it's Hammer Horror you can't expect this to try too hard to be historically accurate...instead it's classic, dark twisted gothic horror with supernatural elements thrown in for good measure...Ingrid Pitt impresses as always as the corrupt, bloodthirsty temptress, and the film just generally has an intense atmosphere and mood, what eventually happens is somewhat predictable but such is the case normally with any gothic film...I guess this film has some elements which remind me of Mario Bava's Mask of Satan/Black Sunday, and I guess the atmosphere of both is fairly similar, except the brilliance of this is that all the dark acts are going on behind the scenes under Bathory's literal and metaphorical mask...

Ultimately to me a great attempt at a film in a pretty believable historical setting tailored to the needs of a dark supernatural horror film, which the perfect balance of both worlds...

3.0 out of 5 starsNot that horrific but...
By S J Buck TOP 500 REVIEWER on 4 Nov. 2008
Format: DVD
This is a decent Hammer film which will maintain your interest for its relatively short length. The fact that it really has nothing to do with Dracula doesn't matter. Its reasonably well written and acted, although occasionally there were a few wooden moments.

Whats most interesting is the levels of violence and sex in the film. Originally this would have been an X certificate for its nudity (several topless women). However in terms of violence there is virtually none, apart from one scene where we see the result of violence (a man who has been hanged). By todays standards its very tame indeed.

However, thats not a bad thing, the story is sufficiently interesting that there doesn't need to be heads rolling all the time. Its an enjoyable way to pass 90 minutes and whilst it doesn't merit 4 stars I'd have given it 3.5 if that was possible.

3.0 out of 5 starsGood Hammer film, but not really horror
By FJY on 19 Mar. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This film was originally released in 1971 and stars Ingrid Pitt, Lesley Anne-Down and Nigel Greene. It is based loosely on the legend of Countess Bathory, who bathed in virgins' blood in order to preserve her youth. This film, although titled Countess Dracula, has nothing at all to do with vampires or Dracula, so anyone expecting that kind of Hammer film will be very disappointed. I think that this film is very enjoyable, well-directed and has mostly excellent acting and any Hammer fan should be pleased with this. I would not regard it as a true horror film, though, because there is virtually no violence or horror in it and I would guess that the now 18 certificate comes purely from the scenes of nudity in the film. This is more of a period drama about Bathory, rather than a gory Hammer Horror. I would still recommend it, though not necessarily to horror fans. It is still better than some of the other films that Hammer were releasing at that time, though. Three stars from me, because it is worth seeing, but not really a classic.
