Jean Rollin makes movies that perplex 'movie viewers' - his films are always poetically surreal, hypnotic, absorbing, enchanting and hallucinatory, and almost never have a coherent storyline. This frustrates and alienates a good deal of viewers, while attracting others. His flix are about dream-like imagery unfolding, cascading in waves, nightmarish and bizarre. He's done away with the notion of a narrative or a linear storyline in favor of the visuals allowing the viewer to interpret as the viewer sees fit. But it's not traditional horror. Highly unconventional, I understand why most people don't enjoy his movies as well as why others are attracted to them. I've seen almost all of his flix and find something worthwhile in most of them while my wife hates them. Different strokes...

The other reviewer is too harsh on this film, expecting gore and nudity to suffice as entertainment. Don't get me wrong, I love exploitation in all its forms, but am one of the few who enjoys an Art House flick as well, and if we can incorporate both in one film, I'm in heaven, while most of my exploitation brethren are bitchin' and moanin'. There's enough nudity to keep most interested, especially the scene where the female leader of the vulgar ship wreckers masturbates on the beach while watching her cruel and sadistic followers brutally rape and kill two girls who re-emerge later on as spectres after making a pact with the devil. Have I got your attention yet?

If you are looking for a different type of Pirate movie including vengeful ghosts and a touch of satanic ritual thrown in, then this is for you. Rollin approaches another genre and fills it with his artistic flourishes and stunning imagery. Again, Redemption's print is a cut above the Image Entertainment release. No sword duels or scenes of derring do in this outing, instead Rollin paces the film like a pressure cooker billowing out his sordid tale of revenge in slow jarring jolts. Recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars YIKES, May 22, 2009

Bartok Kinski "A casual stroll through the lu... (Prague) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Demoniacs (DVD)

This film was garbage, plain and simple. It did not have the gore to make up for its weak story line. It did not have enough sex to make up for its lack of gore. There was not enough nudity to shock in place of gore and sex....YIKES!

I guess I am twice as bitter, because I bought this DVD sight unseen. It does not even have any camp value. The closest thing I can compare it to is an ABBA video gone horribly awry.
