Jean Rollin vampire films on Blu-ray - Reviews - Page 5 - Blu-ray Forum

Compared to Hammer Films, Rollin's films are much less plot-driven and more about mood. They also can be rather surreal. If you have a problem with weird things that are never explained, you might want to stay away. Rollin was really just after interesting visuals and a sense of atmosphere.

ZEN you make me more eager to see these! UGH the next few weeks is going to feel like an eternity

On the Hammer/Rollin issue, I'll chime in that I passionately hate Hammer films, and really LOVE Rollin's. I think Zen is spot-on with the description: you'd have to be able to appreciate the surreal and ambiguous style to them. I would not recommend a blind-buy if someone isn't accustom to this subgenre in horror.

If the phrase "1970s vampire erotica" makes your ears perk up, your fangs shoot out, or other parts of your anatomy stand at attention, you'll most definitely want to check these out.

Nice I'm jealous, dying to have a marathon of these films.

Banned User · 01-18-2012, 08:50 PM

They do come with Booklets and are numbered. No slipcovers. I only ordered Lips of Blood #4 & Shivers of a Vampire #2 from Deep Discount. I've got Fascination coming from Amazon so I'll probably get it on release day. DD has the films at $18.15 versus $22.49 on Amazon. I missed the Preorder Amazon prices.

Trying to decide if I want the other two. Iron Rose and Nude Vampire.

bizarre_eye · 01-18-2012, 09:12 PM

All five releases arrived today. Nice booklet from Tim Lucas, although I would have liked some reversible cover art.

Hopefully get a chance to give them a spin over the weekend.

it would be cool it KINO / Redemption Offered a nice kind of outer box that can be ordered direct thru them to house all the titles after they are released. Good idea.

Zen_Amako · 01-18-2012, 09:37 PM

I'm tempted to order, but I got the Encore special editions on DVD years ago and a few of them are still unwatched. I did like Fascination and Shiver of the Vampires. The Iron Rose is interesting, but it might be boring to some; the whole movie is basically a woman wandering around a cemetery at night.

Things you are likely to find in a Rollin film: vampires, lesbians, clowns, beaches, old castles

I ordered all 5 from importcds.com yesterday for $13 each.

From Casey Broadwater's review of "The Nude Vampire":

If the phrase "1970s vampire erotica" makes your ears perk up, your fangs shoot out, or other parts of your anatomy stand at attention, you'll most definitely want to check these out.

That's the Blu-ray review of the year.

If everyone tells amazon.com about the Importcds.com prices on these films Amazon may lower them again some worth a try. Currently all titles 13.35!

Or they could just order from importcds? Sound easier.
