This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen (and I've seen "Freddy got fingered"). I found myself cringing over the acting but mostly over the horrible dialogue. Why oh why are they speaking English (or rather, trying to)?! The weird dream and fantasy sequences did not help either. Yes, the scenery and the costumes are very good, but it doesn't help. A turd is a turd even when coated in silk.
The most stupid part, though, had to be the monks sent to spy on the countess. They turn this story into a parody of itself.
It could have been good. I WANTED it to be good, to be a notable reply in the stories, true or untrue, surrounding the countess Bathory, but no matter how hard I try I cannot in good faith recommend anyone to spend two hours on this movie. If you want to know more about Erzsebet Bathory, this is not the movie for you.
