If you head on over to Celluloid Dreams' official website you can watch a short teaser promo for Julie Delpy's horror-drama The Countess, which follows the rise and fall of the notorious Countess Bathory who fell a victim to love, conspiracy and her own murderous vanity. Inside you'll find the full synopsis for the film starring Julie Delpy, William Hurt and Daniel Bruehl.
The true story of Countess Bathory born in 1560. At the age of 14, she married a powerful warlord, 10 years her senior. Although their relationship became cold and distant she bore him four children. While he was away fighting wars, she kept up their estate with the help of her confidant, the witch Anna Darvulia, becoming increasingly powerful. She was feared, admired and loathed by many – even the King had to obey her wishes. After her husband died, she met a handsome young man. They fell passionately in love. However, she was desperately concerned that she was not young enough to keep him. For 12 years, she waited for his return and in mad desperation, began to bathe in the blood of virgins, convinced that it would provide her with eternal youth and beauty, setting in motion the chain of bloody and treacherous events that led to her demise.
