Countess Dracula (1970)
Country: GB
Technical: col 93m
Director: Peter Sasdy
Cast: Ingrid Pitt, Nigel Green, Sandor Elès, Maurice Denham
Synopsis:
In 16th century Hungary, a widowed countess preserves her beauty by bathing in the blood of virgins, whose bodies her faithful captain procures for her.
Review:
The Erzsébeth Bathory story, Hammer style, with Pitt cementing her status as the studio's pin-up of choice. It is a repetitive scenario of slaughter, joyous sex and relapse, followed by more slaughter, all the while courting the danger of detection by her lover and/or elder statesman advisor (Denham) and seconded by her loyal, and amusingly dubbed, Captain Dobi (Green).
