ZOMBIE LAKE is his magnum opus!:rockon:

:xmaslol:

For all that I would still have that Redemption BD. For the cover alone. Now that's Exploitation in my book

Hilarious-
Iron Rose and Black Magic Rites-Slim Black case
Demoniacs and The Escapees in standard Blue cases
Fascination and Two Orphan Vampires standard clear cases!

Red,yellow and green next guys!:lol:

I hate to be that type of person, but it's stopped me buying the new releases, if you're having spine numbers you need to have uniformity.

Some more upcoming releases..

Ooh Bloodsucker.

Finally one that hasn't been released stateside yet.

:lol: beat me to it b_e. Me is a happy turtle at this news :dance:

Look forward to finding them in whatever section HMV deign to put them ... ;):lol:

I just replace them/swap them with black cases anyway.:)

I'm definitely interested in some of the upcoming releases. I find myself constantly forgetting what is cut and what isn't when I spot these in HMV. And I end up not buying anything. I'll be picking up The Night Of The Hunted and Fascination if they're both in HMV this week. I have Cold Eyes Of Fear pre-ordered, after the US release went OOP (plus it was less than £10).

The line's lack of a consistent aesthetic also winds me up too, it's nice to see I'm not the only one. It's not just the colour of the cases, but the size, the original few releases were thinner cases, so the spines are all different sizes, making it difficult to rehouse either previous or upcoming releases. I think they're trying to give 88 Films a run for their money in tormenting us.

I never really got into Franco/Rollin, have a few random releases though, Zombie Lake, Virgin Among the living Dead, and Revenge in the House of Usher.

I would love if they put the lot out in a box set, as they would actually go quite well together, and I would definately buy if discounted.

If i'm honest you haven't got into them because all the films you have are shite. Real bottom of the barrel stuff.

Both directors are far better than the output you mentioned.

Lawdy. Ah you meant just these. :laugh: Virgin is an unusual film. As are all his 'horror' films
Learning he was also a jazz musician was a kind of key for me ...

Zombie Lake bottom of the barrel?

Now that is shite!:lol:

Can anybody recommend any (from the Black House range) that are considered their better work? I do want to check some more out, just never got into them when i first started exploring euro horror/banned films back when I was a teenager! :wise:

Rollin's The Demoniacs, Fascination and The Iron Rose are all very good. But Rollin is an acquired taste. His films are all about the atmosphere and the imagery.

There are a couple of excellent Franco films released by Severin in the UK - Vampyros Lesbos and She Killed in Ecstacy.

I’m not sure if my perception is completely warped after numerous Franco films but I found The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein to be fantastic and one of my favourites immediately. Recently out on Nucleus Films! On Black House, Bare Breasted Countess is worth checking out too.

I was looking at Classic Films Direct as i made my small list of recommendations. I never saw Female Vampire. :lol:

It's under the 'Maison Rouge' banner for the more, shall we say, erotic movies :lol:

Fascination, Living Dead Girl, and Grapes of Death, are Jean Rollin's most accessible films. Although, i have found merit in all of them to be honest.

I'd agree with that.

The Iron Rose still remains my fave though.

mine too. as well as being a quite trippy experience, i think it might be my favourite because as well as being beautiful :loveeyes: the lead actress can actually act as well in this one ;)

When you say act you really mean drape herself over grave stones.

:lol: exactly, she does it with more thespian chops than the average Rollin ingénue

Ok, have noted down the recommendations, thank you! And got Erotic Rites today! Cant wait!

ZOMBIE LAKE-Rollins Magnum Opus!
Franco was supposed to originally direct,but ****ed off!!!

Anyone picked up Lips of Blood yet?

Any reverse sleeve pics?

'The Devil's Nightmare' Blu-Ray - release date May 13th, available for pre-order at Amazon UK - £18.61

CLASSIC FILMS DIRECT are selling it for £12.99.

I have the Ltd Mondo disc.
It's definitive....;)

mondo
 

Yeah i thought as much....ill have a look in my piggy bank see if there is enough for the Mondo version..:)

I watched my MM copy last night and thought it looked pretty decent despite the quality warning at the beginning regarding the state of the elements.

If you're interested it's £14.12 delivered from Wow HD at the moment.

How do you do that?

Change a link to say what ever you want.

Just high-light the text you want to use as a link and click the 'insert link' button. You can then paste your URL in the pop-up and it wraps it around the text making it 'clickable'.

No, can't fathom that one.

I can insert links okay but no idea how to change the wording whilst still making it the same link.

Price: £14.18

Aah right. Yes i get you now. :thankingyou:

Anyone bought the BH disc?

I might buy it if it's uncut and has nice reverse artwork! ;)

Any pics please? :thankingyou:

Just released on Blu-Ray - Jean Rollin's 'Dracula's Fiancée'

"While searching for the earthly remains of Count Dracula, a professor an his young assistant are thrown into a surreal parallel universe of darkness and decay when they encounter supernatural creatures- a jester and his vampire lover, a she-wolf, sorcerers and a sensuous baby-eating ogress! Ultimately, the professor's quest leads him to confrontation with the beautiful but evil Isabelle who has the power to decide his fate!"

Recently picked up the US Redemption BD of this one which also includes (the arguably better) Lost in New York. 'Twas only about £13 shipped from Wow too. :nod:

Anyone? :pray:

I bought it Reaps. It is uncut and is pretty decent quality wise. The reverse artwork is simply a photo from - er - an early scene between two ladies ;)
