Why tonight?
- Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
- It goes hard on frights — not a wind-down.
The story
Kingdom of Hungary, 17th century. As she gets older, powerful Countess Erzsébet Báthory (1560-1614), blinded by the passion that she feels for a younger man, succumbs to the mad delusion that blood will keep her young and beautiful forever.
