Countess Dracula (1971)

Hammer Horror starring Ingrid Pitt. Despite the Dracula name being up there, there are no vampires in this one. It’s the story of the infamous and cruel Countess Elizabeth Báthory. It more closely resembles a court scandal period drama than a typical horror. It gave Ingrid the role she became most famous for, but there are much better films to be found in the Hammer catalogue. Ingrid lovers will be after my blood now.
