The Countess

The Countess

Directed by Julie Delpy

A countess decides bathing in the blood of virgins will keep her from growing old and lure back the lover who rejected her for a younger woman. Writer/director and star Julie Delpy takes the tale of Countess Bathory, which has been used as source material for dozens of vampire flicks (Lady Gaga is playing "The Countess" in the fifth season of AMERICAN HORROR STORY) and removes the supernatural element, instead crafting a riveting feminist horror story about a powerful woman whose manipulation at the hands of her male enemies leads to madness and murder.

A countess decides bathing in the blood of virgins will keep her from growing old.

Cast: Julie Delpy, Daniel Brühl, William Hurt

This movie is based on fact. Very loosely I might add but fun if you know the real story.
