Jealousy, vengeance, obsession, cannibalism, and blood-drinking coIlide in Fascination, director Jean Rollin's decadent fantasy of sex and death. When a thief hoIes up in a remote château, taking two beautifuI chambermaids' hostage, the arrivaI of his accomplices and the château's aristocratic owners leads to an orgy of vioIence and rituaIistic bloodletting. With its standout performance from Brigitte Lahaie (The Night of the Hunted), as the scythe-wieIding Eva, and an evocative score from PhiIippe D'Aram (The Living Dead GirI), Fascination is one of the purest expressions of RoIlin's unique fantastique aesthetic.
