After centuries of slumber, Countess Elisabeth Báthory awakens with an insatiable thirst for blood. Together with her maid, she sets out in search of the red elixir of life. Hot on their heels are a police officer, two vampirologists, a vegetarian nephew and his therapist.
Dressed in shimmering costumes, Isabelle Huppert slips effortlessly into the role, inspired by the real-life serial killer Báthory, infamous for her bloodthirsty legend. Visionary director Ulrike Ottinger’s The Blood Countess is a feast for fashion lovers and the year’s most deliciously chilling dose of goth and camp – an experience not to be missed.
