Product Description

This is cult director Jean Rollin at his best; visual delights, sensual lesbian lovemaking, the beautiful Brigitte Lahaie as a scythe-wielding avenger and a group of castle-dwelling bourgeois blood-drinkers. Two woman chosen by the group must find a man that they must slaughter and communally consume in a cannibalistic vampire feast.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Fascination with Rollin, July 4, 2009

By	Liquid Faith "Liquid Faith" (USA) - See all my reviews

If you don't know who Jean Rollin is..and are a fan of Gothic Horror...Get to know him. Fascination has to be my personal favorite. Simply put..It's a masterpiece of sensual and dark imagery. A torrid tale about a thief who ends up running from another group of robbers he double crossed, and hiding out in a chateaus. There he encounters two ladies in waiting, that seduce him only to keep him there until midnight when a group of empowered female cultists, who drink human blood for anemia, arrive. They begin a long and sexual game with the macho-unsuspecting thief.This film has not only educated me on difference between american film and world film, but showed me that you can mix eroticism,sex and macabre imagery,with no money...and make a breathtaking, stimulating and all around artistic fun film.
Wow. Ok hollywood..enough.
If you like gothic french erotic horror from the 70's, check this film out.
Ouch..that hurt so good:).

3.0 out of 5 stars Jean Rollins, May 22, 2009

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

I'm an admirer of Jean Rollins work, and this film is the one which to me best represents his style. It succeeds in blending the sexual predator images of the more successful Hammer vampire movies, with the doomed romanticism of French cinema. The production values are low, presumably they operated on a very small budget, but as I was starting to experiment with my own low production films, I was inspired by how much it achieves in spite of its limitations.

The film is driven by a series of powerful images, notably the semi-naked girl wielding a scythe, and the odd bit of lesbian love action. As with all of Rollins best films, you get the feeling of getting a glimpse of, and being allowed to share, a very personal obsession.
