Is this true or fiction, I heard something a while back that this film is based on an actual person who was a serial killer that lived somewhere in Eastern Europe in the 16th century. True or False?

Yes. The character is based on Countess Bathory who is alleged to have killed several hundred young women.

The real Bathory was even worse than she was in this movie
