Inhalt: |
Jean Rollin’s third feature fiIm, 1971’s The Shiver of the Vampires (Le Frisson des vampires), established themes and visual motifs to which he would return throughout his career, blending horror, eroticism, fairy tale, and surrealism to create his unique cinema of the fantastique.
Arriving at a decrepit chateau for their honeymoon, young newIyweds undergo a series of surreal and sinister encounters, and come to realise that they are the prey of the resident vampires...
With performances from Sandra JuIien (I Am Frigid... Why?) and Marie-Pierre CasteI (Lips of Blood), ravishing cinematography from RoIlin’s reguIar coIlaborator Jean-Jacques Renon, and a thrilling jazz-rock score by Acanthus, The Shiver of the Vampires is regarded as one of RoIlin’s greatest films."
