Countess Dracula is a British horror made in 1971 by Hammer Film Productions. It was directed by Peter Sasdy and stars Ingrid Pitt, Nigel Green, Leslie Ann Down and Sandor Eles.
The film is set in the 17th Century in Hungary, and the local villagers are concerned that young women are disappearing. In the nearby castle lives Countess Elizabeth Nadasdy who is recently widowed, but is fixated with a young guard named Lt. Imre Toth. She baths in the blood of young virgin women so that her youth is restored, and pretends to be her missing daughter Llona so that she can court Toth, and he's none the wiser.
Whenever her true physical self returns, she looks older each time. That means more blood and more deaths. The countess just doesn't care.
The film is based on the infamous Countess Bathory.
I rate this one a 7/10.
Gripe - There can't be anyone in this film more foolish than Toth.
Howls ^^
