Finally, a horror shocker that needs to make no excuses! Harry Kümel’s interpretation of the Elizabeth Báthory legend excels in all departments and succeeds in each of its aims. Erotic Eurohorror meets Sternbergian visual decadence, making a vivid (and bloody) statement about classic screen exoticism. Given the full glamour treatment, silky Delphine Seyrig is striking as the deceptively congenial vampire queen. It’s a rare throwback to the beginnings of erotic Eurohorror — sex and death, together again! Blue Underground takes the leap to 4K Ultra HD and stacks the extras with key interview content, and a soundtrack CD.

Flanders funding organisation will invest €750,000 in a feature film every year.
In a move which could provide a major boost to long form animation in the Flemish region, The Flanders Audiovisual Fund (Vaf) is to set aside €750,000 ($793,000) each year to invest in a single majority-produced animated feature.
In an interview with Screen, Pierre Drouot, director of the Vlaams Audiovisueel Fonds (Vaf), explained the thinking behind the intervention. The aim, Drouot said, was to guarantee at least one animated feature a year for which “the content and the IP was in the hands of the Flanders sector”.
“Animation is a sector that we want to develop even more in the future,” the Vaf boss said.
Flemish animation producers have been involved as minority partners in several award winning features in recent years, among them The Triplets Of Belleville, The Secret Of Kells and A Cat In Paris (all Oscar nominated). The aim now is to give Flemish animators...
