Comment
In 16th century Hungary Countess Elizabeth Bathory abducts, tortures and kills young women leading to her reputation of being the most prolific female serial killer. Anna Friel takes the lead in this retelling of the story. There is some beautiful photography in parts with some impressive Hungarian costumes however the film does move at a slow pace at times and is slightly strange in places. This is based partly on history and partly on legend. She may well have killed lots of people but probably did not bath in their blood
