Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Alan Jones

The legend of Elizabeth Bathory (who Hammer lionised in Countess Dracula) provides the inspiration for this lyrically erotic, art house shocker, expertly directed by the Belgian Harry Kümel. Delphine Seyrig is the well-preserved haute couture vampire who insinuates her evil self on an unsuspecting honeymoon couple at a luxurious seaside hotel in Ostend. Before long the husband is sadistically killed by the immortal beauty and his wife becomes Bathory's lesbian lover. Explicitly sexual and violent, the haunting atmosphere, Seyrig's brilliant performance and the always striking imagery make this European chiller a stunning masterwork.
