I must see this Movie. I dont believe that it is a Legend. Bathory was Charles Manson of sixteenth century.
Fact this is not a Movie Plot
A sixteenth century Hungarian Countess who enjoyed bathing in blood. This deviant fawn of royalty believed that regular blood baths would halt the aging process. Estimates of the number of girls that were slaughtered in her 10 years of beauty treatments vary from 40 to as much as 600.
The bloody Countess, the widow of a celebrated Hungarian war hero and descendent of the legendary despot Vlad the Impaler, led a life immersed in black magic and sadism. She once had the mouth of a servant sewn shut for being too noisy. In 1612, after countless rumors about her behavior, troops entered her Castle Csejthe and uncovered a blood-letting in progress. All the servants that participated in her orgies of horror were executed and burned. The Countess, being royalty, was put under house arrest. Three years later, on August 21, 1614, she died sealed in her bedroom. Perhaps her elixir of youth had been working all along.
For years I have hoped someone would make a film about one of the most evil people ever to walk this earth. I thought at times that perhaps it could not be made truthfully, because it would be too horrible to show. I am really looking forward to seeing this, so I hope it will be a true depiction of her life.
