Peter Sasdy's horror flick will bathe viewers in blood on Blu-ray in May, and you can pre-order the film now.
In an early announcement to retailers, Synapse Films is preparing 'Countess Dracula' for Blu-ray on May 6.
The beautiful Ingrid Pitt ('The Wicker Man,' 'Where Eagles Dare') stars as Elisabeth Nádasdy, an aging Hungarian Countess who discovers she can reverse her aging by bathing in the blood of young women. While in her youthful state, the Countess falls for the handsome Lt. Imre Toth (Sandor Elès), and impersonates her own daughter to win his affections. Soon, girls in the village go missing… kidnapped and murdered by the Countess and her steward, Julie (Patience Collier) to satiate her horrifying bloodlust. Can Elisabeth live a life of deception with her grotesque lust for blood to stay eternally young, or will her ghoulish secret finally be revealed? Co-starring Nigel Green ('Jason and the Argonauts,' 'Zulu').
