| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzLyrical hallucinatory tale set at night in a cemetery. |
| User ReviewAnthony AA young couple meet and get lost in a graveyard in this french existential art-house film. |
| User ReviewLittle DUtterly gorgeous outing showing Rollin at his poetic and nightmarish best. Intended less as a cohesive narrative and more as a visual meditation on the entwined nature of death and love. |
| User Reviewbeto aVery personal project from Jean Rollin. A young couple are trapped in a massive graveyard at night and um... that's it. |
| User ReviewJason CI wanted this to be as creepy and surreal as Jess Franco's "A Virgin Among the Living Dead." It's mostly not, but worth a look anyway. |
| User ReviewKylie BI wish i coulda liked it more but it had its atmoshpheric sense of darkness that kept me watching ... |
| User ReviewCharles PJean Rollin - who usually directed erotic vampire films - changed his theme (slightly) and managed to produce this odd, nightmarish offering. |
| User ReviewFilmGrinder SOne thing's for sure: Few of us have had a first date this interesting. "The Iron Rose" is an unusual, intriguing film, though the middle drags badly. It's less a horror story than an existential chamber play that happens to have a spooky setting. An attractive young pair meets at a wedding reception, plans a casual date for the next day and wanders into a cemetery for lunch. They make love (apparently for hours?) in an underground crypt and emerge to find the sky darkened and their bearings obliterated. Which way is the gate? Then the girl starts intoning morose poetry and the boy starts to wish he was elsewhere. There are just two speaking parts, and even the central couple (who go unnamed) are mostly silent. The third largest part is simply a mysterious passerby in a clown suit. The idea of being lost in a cemetery seems more plausible, once you see this site with its thick greenery and tall headstones. The locations are wonderful, and another visual bonus is the girl's body steadily threatening to fall out of her flimsy clothes. |
| User ReviewPaul NHmmm.... graveyard romp gone wrong! If you fancy watching the couple make out in a pit of skeletons, unlikely aphrodisiac, and so forth, it won't be a complete waste of time. The mist and the novel setting of a cimetière have their charms. Everything else screams amateurism. |
