Review – Countess Dracula

The legend of Countess Elizabeth Bathory (or Bathori if you want to go all European about it) gets Hammered into one of the studio’s typical bare-bosomed vampire chick movies. Of course none of this has anything to do with Dracula, nor does the production feature many of the usual cast of Hammer actors (notably absent are both Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing). At least we get Ingrid Pitt as the bloodthirsty countess struggling to find enough virgins in the local village to drain of their youth-sustaining blood. Mildly amusing
