I accidentally downloaded the Slovak-dubbed version sometime ago. Finally I get to see the original English version. Thank you for uploading this.

This is not bathory, only some crap from TV

I hope you're totally wrong about that. I've been waiting for some nice person out there to upload the origonal english version of the Bathory movie. So, once I see this I'll let y'all know what I thought (since no one has really filled in those details)

yup.. this is what we've all been waiting for. so, nevermind the bollaks, heres Bathory.

Fields stained with Turkish blood. Villages and witches burned. High castles and deep catacombs. Bleak life full of vivid imagination. Such is the world Bathory, The Bloody Lady of Cachtice.

Elizabeth Bathory lets you see the film through the eyes of a mother, lover and ruler rather than the legendary serial killer. Throughout the film she strives to protect her children, love and land while ignoring her tainted reputation. The intrigues escalate. Blood is spilled. And a false myth is born.

Although there is a complex epic plot, the film feels more like a series of still pictures. There is a lot of symbolism and the plot slows down so that you can fully enjoy it. Apart from the story, the Bathory also takes some time to explain how myths are created and abused to serve one?s needs. The acting is outstanding but does not stand out as much as the Hungarian costumes that make the film look fresh.

Unfortunately the movie is significantly flawed by repetitive comic relief in which two monks use various inventions to spy on the countess. They seem to have come from another movie and make you question the taste of the writers. Should there be a version without those comedians a 9/10 rating would be appropriate.

Thanks!

I accidentally voted down the quality. How can I undo it?
