Metamorphosis

In the Seventeenth Century, while Hungary is fighting the Turks, the population of a small village in the Carpathian Mountains faces the evil Countess Elizabeth Bathory, accused of drinking and bathing in blood of virgin women.

Directed by Jenő Hódi, Metamorphosis leans on a strong ensemble — Christopher Lambert, Corey Sevier, Charlie Hollway — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2007.
