Consider the strange case of the «Blood Countess», a 16th - century
Hungarian noblewoman / serial killer who bathed in the blood of her victims — 650 servant girls — in the vain pursuit of eternal youth.
Reminiscent of the political intrigue of «The Illusionist» and the haunting stylings of «Bram Stoker's Dracula», «The Countess» tells the tale of Erzebet Bathory (Julie Delpy) an aging
noblewoman whose years of solitude and loneliness transforms her into a cold and distant figure among
Hungarian nobility.
