Elizabeth Batory, eccentric Hungarian countess, is convinced that to stay young and beautiful it is necessary to bathe in the blood of young virgins, so she begins to sow death. A decent sexy-horror directed by the filmmaker Jorge Grau ("Non si deve profanare il sonno dei morti") which has its strong points in the splendid and talented protagonist Lucia Bosè and the staging of some good purely horrific sequences: the beginning with the witchcraft trial, the sequences of the "blood baths" of the Bosè. For lovers of the genre.
