In medieval Europe aging Countess Elisabeth rules harshly with the help of lover Captain Dobi. Finding that washing in the blood of young girls makes her young again she gets Dobi to start abducting likely candidates. The Countess - pretending to be her own daughter - starts dallying with a younger man, much to Dobi's annoyance. The disappearances cause mounting terror locally, and when she finds out that only the blood of a virgin does the job, Dobi is sent out again with a more difficult task. (Turner Classic Movies)

Peter Sasdy was a rather mediocre director in the case of the feature films he made for Hammer. Countess Dracula, based on the story of Elizabeth Báthory, has the beautiful Ingrid Pitt in the lead role, as well as a rather bountiful screenplay with some dramatic links between the characters. However, the directorial grasp of the film is very weak, as it evokes television entertainment more than a big-screen historical drama. That becomes obvious in the illogical behaviour of the supporting characters in the first half of the film and in the action’s lack of naturalness. In the second half, when the plot unfolds between multiple characters, this careless approach is a shame. And don’t look forward to any horror, as there are only a few such scenes lasting a few seconds each. A weak three stars.

This is the kind of film you want to see mainly as a curiosity, to witness that such films were also made and that they carried the legacy of the vampire count. No matter what we say, this is a film that should rather be named "Countess Bathory," because it has much more in common with that fact/legend. It just doesn't have the right creepy level and not really any interesting storyline.

Countess Dracula is a very dark fairy tale with an atmosphere like The Brothers Grimm, which occasionally slips into romance like a soap opera, from which it is always rescued in time by some murder, some exposed breast or at least some intrigue. Nothing more, nothing less. Just another B-movie from the Hammer studio, which is duly proud of its origins.
