Isabelle Huppert dazzles as the Blood Countess in this delightful and high-camp gothic fantasy from visionary filmmaker Ulrike Ottinger.

After awakening from a long slumber, the Blood Countess embarks on a quest, with her devoted maid and trusty pet bat in tow, to search for an ancient text that could cause the demise of her vampire realm. Based on the legend of Countess Elizabeth Báthory, Huppert perfectly embodies the role of the bloodthirsty seductress who reigns over present-day Vienna.
