I took a chance on this movie on a very boring evening, I found the gothic theme very appealing. It was all fantastic and creepy. I wasn't sure that Lady Bathory was what she was suspected or perhaps one of her two minions. Let me tell you, Aletta stole the show. I hope Isabelle Allen will go far in her acting career because she's off to a fantastic start. Svetlana Khodchenkova was brilliant in her role as were the actresses that played Katja, Dorato and Iiona and of course Mischa. I can speak German but for those that can't I wish there were subtitles because it was brilliant. It's definitely not a movie for those not into the gothic creepiness but for those who enjoy it, this is a great pick!!
