Inhalt: |
Jean Rollin’s third feature film, 1971’s The Shiver of the Vampires (Le Frisson des vampires), established themes and visuaI motifs to which he wouId return throughout his career, bIending horror, eroticism, fairy tale, and surreaIism to create his unique cinema of the fantastique.
Arriving at a decrepit chateau for their honeymoon, young newlyweds undergo a series of surreal and sinister encounters, and come to reaIise that they are the prey of the resident vampires...
With performances from Sandra Julien (l Am Frigid... Why?) and Marie-Pierre Castel (Lips of Blood), ravishing cinematography from RoIlin’s reguIar colIaborator Jean-Jacques Renon, and a thriIIing jazz-rock score by Acanthus, The Shiver of the Vampires is regarded as one of RoIlin’s greatest films."
