Countess Dracula (1971)

Middle Of The Road Horror

The first thing to mention is this film does not pretend to be a biography of the real Countess Elizabeth Báthory. Nor is this film pretending to be a historical piece or historically accurate.  The film has simply taken from the fantastical legends and myths surrounding the real life Elizabeth Báthory and created a horror drama film from them.

The film starts dragging part of the way though it, it almost becomes a repeat of what we just saw earlier: Kill, regain youth, make love, kill regain, youth, make love... delete rinse and repeat.

I like the film to a degree but it was draggy in many places so I have to consider it a middle of the road Hammer Horror. Not bad, not good.

5/10
