天真可爱的伊丽莎白(安娜·弗莱尔 Anna Friel 饰)自幼嫁入贵族,肩负着振兴家世的的重任。适时战争不断,匈牙利的土地上未见安宁之地,伊丽莎白的夫家弗伦茨·纳达斯第(文森特·瑞根 Vincent Regan 饰)则在战争中愈加强大。弗伦茨连年征战在外,伊丽莎白则体验着孤独与无聊,她沉湎黑魔法、不伦之爱、蕾丝之情,更成为百姓谈及色变的吸血鬼女伯爵。真相在历史的长河中早已扑朔迷离,真正的伊丽莎白究竟如何无人得知…… 本片根据中世纪匈牙利臭名昭著的“吸血女伯爵”伊丽莎白·巴瑟(Elizabeth Bathory)的故事改编,并荣获2009年捷克金狮奖最佳艺术指导奖。Bathory is based on the legends surrounding the life and deeds of Countess Elizabeth Bathory known as the greatest murderess in the history of mankind. Contrary to popular belief, Elizabeth Bathory was a modern Renaissance woman who ultimately fell victim to men's aspirations for power and wealth.
