Loosely based on the story of Elizabeth Bathory, almost turning it into a fairytale. I have no problem with such an approach, but there are some serious plot holes in this story. Sometimes you wonder why is this character doing this and why this man is with this woman, when they should be enemies, not a couple... (I'm avoiding putting spoilers, so no more details).
The setting is splendid - Corvin Castle in Transylvania. Much bigger than the actual castle of Elizabeth Bathory (I've visited both). The costumes are fine. The acting probably not so good. It's not a disaster, though.
Overall, probably among the better films about Bathory in recent years.
