All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

Countess Dracula (1971)

Starring: Ingrid Pitt
Director: Peter Sasdy

Premise:
A Countess discovers she cant reverse aging by washing in the blood of young, virgin women. She then pretends to be her own daughter in order to regain her late husband's estate.

My Take:
A decent Hammer Studio take on the Elizabeth Bathory tale. Great set pieces and atmosphere in this one.
Ingrid Pitt was quite the beauty back in the day.

Rating: In the middle
