    • Trivia
      Famke Janssen was originally signed on for the part of Bathory, but for reasons unknown she backed out. Anna Friel read the script and fell in love with it and sent the director a letter convincing him to cast her. It was able to be written in the Slovak language because her babysitter was from Slovakia and helped her in writing it.
