Trivia:
Famke Janssen was originally signed on for the part of Bathory, but for reasons unknown she backed out. Anna Friel read the script and fell in love with it and sent the director a letter convincing him to cast her. It was written in Slovak language, because her babysitter was from Slovakia and helped her writing it.

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.
