It is so hard to see a good historical movie nowadays and this movie is the perfect example. Nothing is credible, it is so Hollywood-istical , so cliché, so full of stereotypes . I gave it 3 stars just for the beauty of the landscape , Carpathian mountains notably,otherwise it,s just a pure waste of time . They are several goofs: -English language was not spoken in that part of Eastern Europe at that time. Ashamed of Hungarian or what ? -Italian painter (i don't name him) never had nothing to do with Bathories. -The 2 spies/friars they were unnecessary clowns added to the ridiculous plot . -Roller skates , parachute,telescope.... Come on , the action of the movie is happening around the year 1600 A.D. Over 2 hours of what ? You learned out that allegedly countess Bathory was a sort of nun and not a sadistic person.
