    Bathory: Murderess or victim?

    I have just finished watching this and have to say it's not what I expected!

    This woman is documented as a murderess from numerous sources and yet the film seems to have decided she was merely a victim of nasty, money-grabbing men who simply wanted her fortune.

    If you read the historical facts on the internet, the story is quite different - see, for instance, the article written and displayed on the Triond site by a writer known as Jackie118 who does a lot of historical articles. This writer seems to have researched the internet and portrayed the facts as they are known, and she did it before this film was released too! (I just found out you can 'Google' Jackie118 if you wish)

    Now I have seen this portrayal of Bathory's life, I do not know what to believe but I do know the film was rather badly done, in my opinion. It seems to me they heard about the other film being made about this woman and rushed to release theirs first!

    I shall wait and watch the second Bathory film, soon to be released, called 'The Countess' before I finally decide...
