Rating: 1/4 -- There's barely enough material here to fill a 22-minute episode of The Twilight Zone, let alone a full-length movie. Full Review

Rating: C -- It's a Hammer production, so you know what to expect (or you should!). Full Review

Rating: B -- Basics are covered well by Sasdy, who delivers an interesting take on this devil's pact plot, wisely emphasizing Pitt's allure, his cinematic weapon that gives Countess Dracula the bite it deserves. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

The beautiful Ingrid Pitt (The Wicker Man, Where Eagles Dare) stars as Elisabeth Nadasdy, an aging Hungarian Countess who discovers she can reverse her aging by bathing in the blood of young women. While in her youthful state, the Countess falls for the handsome Lt. Imre Toth (Sandor Eles), and impersonates her own daughter to win his affections. Soon, girls in the village go missing... kidnapped and murdered by the Countess and her steward, Julie (Patience Collier) to satiate her horrifying bloodlust. Can Elisabeth live a life of deception with her grotesque lust for blood to stay eternally young, or will her ghoulish secret finally be revealed? Co-starring Nigel Green (Jason and the Argonauts, Zulu).

Considered "one of the more underrated films from the latter days of the Hammer Films dynasty" (Donald Guarisco, Allmovie.com), Countess Dracula is based on the real-life Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Bathory, a woman accused of torturing and murdering more than 600 girls.

Bonus content includes audio commentary with actress Ingrid Pitt, director Peter Sasdy, screenwriter Jeremy Paul and author Jonathan Sothcott, plus "Immortal Countess: The Cinematic Life Of Ingrid Pitt Featurette" and more.
