- QuizThe picture that appears behind the opening credits is an 1896 painting by Hungarian artist Istvan Csok. It shows the real Countess Bathory enjoying the torture of some young women by her servants. In an inner courtyard of one of her castles, the naked girls are being drenched with water and allowed to freeze to death in the snow.

Captain Dobi: And what will your daughter say? She arrives tomorrow and she'll find you as young as she is.
- Versioni alternativeAlthough cinema cuts were requested by the BBFC (and the film remains listed as cut on their website) the edits were never made following an appeal by Hammer to chief censor Stephen Murphy.
Eerie terror movie from Hammer Films delivering emotion enough , it contains stiff acting , thrills , chills , intrigue , nudism and grisly killings. The movie is decent -shoddy sets apart- and still mysterious and acceptable thanks to emphasis on decay and corruption more than bloodsucking and vampirism . Ingrid Pitt gives a powerful and fierce portrayal , she pulls it all together with her splendid interpretation of a bitter woman's determination to hang on to an unexpected youthful . Support cast is pretty good, such as : Sandor Eles, Nigel Green , Maurice Denham , Peter Jeffrey , Patience Collier and a very young Lesley Anne Down. This tale about Elisabeth Bathory has been adapted sometimes as ¨Legend of Blood castle¨ 1973 by Jorge Grau with Lucia Bose, Ewa Aulin , Espartaco Santoni and ¨Walerian Borozyx's Immoral tales¨ with Paloma Picasso as countess Barthory and ¨Devil's wedding night¨ with Rosalba Neri.
It contains a splendid and atmospheric musical score by Henry Richardson . As well as Kenneth Talbot's rich cinematography full of browns and golds and with varying shades of red. The motion picture was uneven but professionally directed by Peter Sasdy with some flaws and gaps , as it has some scenes that result to be of variable quality . Sasdy was a fine craftsman who directed a lot of fims with penchant for terror, Adventure and thriller , such as : ¨Taste the blood of Dracula, Hands of the Ripper, Nothing but the night, Doomwatch, Young warlord, King Arthur the young warlord, I don't want to be born, The devil' undead, 13 Reunion, Rude awakening, The two faces of evil, The lonely lady¨, among others. Rating 6/10. Acceptable and passable. The picture will appeal to Ingrid Pitt fans and Hammer Films aficionados.
