Rollin is a tough one, you'll either love his stuff or hate it. I'd say wait until GRAPES OF DEATH gets a release and then go from there as its his most accessible work. In my teens/twenties I didn't like him at all, but in fairness I was all about gore/comedy horror and gritty 70's movies. Now I'm in my thirties I've revisited the rollin films with these redemption blus and enjoyed them a lot more, perhaps i'm actually becoming more mature in my tastes? Most of his vampire stuff is dream like and symbolism heavy, they do require a bit of attention and focus to be appreciated but if you can stick with them they are very rewarding films.
