3.0 out of 5 stars 'Killing Car' = Killing Time..., May 19, 2010

This review is from: Killing Car (DVD)

As a Jean Rollin fan (for the most part) I have to say I was bored by this film from start to finish. This type of flick, along with the horrid 'Sidewalks Of Bangkok', are simply not his forte - he`s good at the dreamy, surreal, hypnotic mythos of vampire lore, the waking dead, occult and Eurocult tidbits that aren`t plot or narrative driven. His attempt at an action flick misses the mark completely. He can't seem to use the low-budget to his benefit in this one, it`s poorly lit, badly paced, weak on action and there`s only one Asian woman in the flick undraped, and not nearly often enough for a Rollin film. Skip this one and grab 'The Living Dead Girl', 'Night Of The Hunted' or 'Fascination' from the same time period and you`ll see what I mean. 'Killing Car' means killing time...

This review is from: Killing Car (DVD)

This is a great film among the best of some of Mr.Rollin's! It is more or less a comeback to the horror/exploitive/beautiful women actor movies that he loved to make, before the pornography/graphic sexuality revolution, changed the face of French cinema. I would suggest that you would watch this film, for some of his tale-tale and takes on the time during he shot this, as this film for such a low-budget type, is really a great expressive movie, but done so stylishly[as the French can do with with their version and interpretation of!], the film actually comes out as "Noir" and the French integration of many more of the "ethnics" that do live in, and contribute greatly to France, but hardly get any recognition of, do make this film more unusual, of this and the type of cinematography, that France and Europe does put out. The film starts out with twist on the formula of revenge/mysterious killer, and as it progresses you can see the stylish ways, it takes twists and some turns and ending that is a bit surprising as to the heroine/anti-heroine in the film. It starts out like a common revenge film, only to end up something more then art and viewer interpretations on the whole film and ending. The film is much more easy to view, and a more cognizant story line and actual logic to the movie, then say Jess Franco's exploitive films!



It does show with some class[thought definitely low-budget looking!] what can be done with some thought and ingenuity and vision, which Mr. Rollin seems to have in abundance! I especially did like the interviews and stars in some of Jean's films on this DVD! As for this film in his collection, i would give it a 4-5 stars, as it is not too lurid with nudity and disconnected/disorganized story line as some of his other films i have seen can be...but a true original idea and with such a multi-faceted cast! I really like this type of "Revenge Noir", but my only disappointment to this film, as it is too dark in places, and why does even France, look always so gloomy and drab in so many of his films, even when there is sufficient lighting?

I do hope this small , rambling review helps others with the decision to purchase or even rent this film, as it will find itself on my shelve and for review many times to come!
