Le VIOL DU VAMPIRE (THE RAPE OF THE VAMPIRE) (1968)
The Rape Of The Vampire was Jean Rollin's directorial debut. The film consists of two parts: The Rape of the Vampire, and The Vampire Woman/Queen of the Vampires. Originally, the
film was only supposed to be a short, but a second part was filmed and added
later so that it was to be released as a feature film.
The poetic spirit and strong inspiration of American serials did not seem to
attract viewers or critics at the time of its release, because of the terrible
reception and the film provoked a scandal.
Although the film was seen in a negative view on the time of its release.
Le Viol du Vampire remains an important film in the works of Jean Rollin.
Indeed, several themes developed in his subsequent feature films are already
there: not only vampires and a fascination with old cemeteries, but also
lesbianism and a pronounced taste for eroticism.
Now Available On Blu-ray From REDEMTION and Kino Lorber. Click the poster to go to the listing on Amazon.com

KILLING CAR (1993)
KILLING CAR is one of Jean Rollin's most unusual films and is a real departure
from the vampire theme for which he is best known, though it still maintains
Rollin's signature mix of mysterious femmes fatales and female flesh. The film
centers on a strange Asian woman who steals an American car and then proceeds to
shoot and kill anyone who gets in her way for no apparent reason.
Truly bizarre and with more killings than the French revolution, KILLING CAR is a surreal thriller featuring ghosts, prostitutes and a used car salesman.
