Movie Reviews

User Review - 8/10 by Eric RGrapes of Death doesn't waste any time throwing the viewer into this horrific situation where everyone in a small rural town has become zombie type creatures. I really loved how early on in the film the viewer is essentially int he same place as our heroine--confused and freaked out about the madness which is happening around them. This unsettling mood really continues throughout the entire film, in that we don't really know the cause of the zombification until near the end of the movie. Rollin sure knows how to create an atmosphere, from his moody lighting, subtle camera movements and abudance of closeups, with the french countryside just adding to the atmosphere. It's a violent film and while the make-up can be a little cheesy I still found it to be pretty damn disgusting across the board, with the green and brown bodily fluids and such. Its a slow paced flick and I did think the film dragged a bit towards the end but I really enjoyed the touch of intimacy which Rollin uses to center this story.
User Review - 8/10 by Erwin MCool movie from the zombie genre with awesome scenery. Reminded me of Let Sleeping Corpses Lie.
User Review - 8/10 by Baumann, RI've seen so many zombie movies that I sometimes forget that there are so many I HAVEN'T seen yet. This film was a major omission in my exploration of both zombie films and 70s "Eurotrash" (which I say with reservations about that somewhat derogatory). It has also made me realize that I MUST see more Jean Rollin films. There is very little dialogue in this film and the plot is meager to say the least. Basically, people are turning into zombie-like creatures (they don't seem to actually be dead, just batshit crazy with rotting flesh) because they have drunk the local wine grown from grapes sprayed with some new pesticide. Besides the pesticide detail, however, this does not at all fall into the 70s "environmental horror" genre. It is, rather, pure visual Gothic. This isn't a movie you watch for the sparkling dialogue or the twisting plot or the great action (though there are a few brief but effective gore sequences). But visually I was totally mesmerized by this film, as I was by The Living Dead Girl (the only other Rollin film I've seen). The tableaux of death and suffering Rollin creates -- particularly using fragile blond women -- straddle the line between porn and high art, and you can't look away. There is one blond waif in particular who is blind (you can see her on the DVD cover) with piercing blue-white eyes whose groping despair and eventual demise I will not soon forget. I'm being a very bad feminist (and yes, I am a female reviewer and a feminist) but... what can I say? It's a really visually interesting film that visually imagined the kinds of landscapes, characters, and deaths that you find in 18th and 19th-C Gothic fiction. So what about the zombies? What do they represent in this film? Not much beyond the inevitability of decay and perhaps insanity. In make-up and demeanor they are definitely very Night of the Living Dead-like but not terribly scary. What's scary about this film, I think, is the horror inherent in small close-knit groups (community, family). There was definitely some subtext about the way that abuse tends to be close to home, so perhaps the zombies represent some kind of decay of older social structures and the horrors of intimacy. Recommended for fans of Rollin, Franco, Argento, and Bava (reminded me a bit of Kill Baby Kill!).
User Review - 6/10 by Spookie MInteresting take on the zombie genre, a young woman finds herself in the midst of a village that has been infected by a new strain of pesticide and has began to turn the inhabitants into deranged killers in a zombie like state. Directed by Jean Rollin this 1978 flick has some great scenic footage of the Italian landscape as well as a great beheading scene. Outside of that though the movie is a bit slow and drags a bit but overall is decent enough for the genre with some very good and well balanced effects. 7/10
User Review - 6/10 by Juli NRollin unearths fresh rural dread in surreal zombie poem--Creepy and Original 'Environmentalist' Zombie Gore!!
User Review - 6/10 by Shaun BThis is my first Jean Rollin film (I believe?) and although most of his works seem to lean more on erotic vampires, this time around he is using zombies who drank too much wine tainted with pesticides! It's a very cultish movie with beautiful and seductive women and Rollins' own B-movie Euro-trash sensibilities are in rather nice form with a memorable beheading scene and the camera catching the gorgeous vineyards and villages in ecstatic moments of glory. And then you get to see the somewhat bad acting and the lackadaisical direction that occasionally wanders off... But overall it's an interesting horror film that is more about style than substance, it was made in the 1970s and it's by a French director known for B-movie sleaziness. Not bad for a first taste in my opinion.
User Review - 4/10 by Kris VThey're spraying the vineyards with something which won't agree with everyone. A couple of girls travelling through this blighted wine region discover the worst and the hunt is on. Low on dialogue, fairly limited in plot, slow in action, and frankly quite boring, the natives are gripped by some stupefying form of physical decay which inspires them to murder anyone who remains healthy. It's been done a lot better. The physical location is beautiful and very atmospheric, and you'd think it could have been used more effectively. It's complemented by the photography, which is excellent. The acting, however, is stultified, but then there's not much of a script or a plot to inspire anyone. Two stars, because of the scenery, the photography, and the lady in white, who could get a pulse from any self-respecting zombie. Otherwise, a very forgettable horror film.
