In the 15th Century, France is a defeated and ruined nation after the One Hundred Years War against England.

What critics compared Joan of Arc to
Nightmarishly brutal, set against wintry landscapes and medieval battlements, and rife with hopeless, starving peasants, it’s practically a full-bore horror picture, reminiscent of Game of Thrones , Joan of Arc, and Countess Dracula?the one where the title character, inspired by Elizabeth Bathory, stays youthful by bathing in the blood of young women.
