5/10
Rollin's most visceral horror film
29 March 2001
This film has great moments but has some serious flaws. The gore is juicy and plentiful and the French countryside and chateau locations are gorgeous but this film is seriously hampered by the intrusion of a couple of really boring and annoying Americans who are mystified by this strange undead woman. I was happy to see this couple finally get killed off when they get too curious. This is basically the tragic tale of a bond of friendship that lasts beyond the grave. Moments of effective drama are placed next to scenes of stupid comic relief that this film becomes an exercise in frustration thinking about how good it could have been. The ending is particularly haunting.
