\nDear Fans Of Film Forno I have decided to post interesting films I come across while rummaging around the Netflix streaming archive. Here’s an easy way to see films that were very hard to see for a long time and to start off my list I choose the films of Jean Rollin.<\/p>\n

\n Unfortunately M. Rollin died last year, he had languished in relative obscurity for a while but was on the verge of a re-discovery when he passed. His semi- erotic fantasy\/vampire films are worth checking out. even if it’s only to see what one can do with a castle, a beach, nude girls and very little money.<\/p>\n

\n These films are unique and charming, the violence is underplayed and the erotic, fantastic aspects of these tales takes the fore.I recently watched Shiver Of The Vampire<\/em> which feels like it may have inspired The Rocky Horror Picture Show<\/em>. They share a lot of similar elements. Last night I watched Rollin’s first vampire movie,The Rape Of The Vampire<\/em>, shot in glorious B&W, it was interesting, but I must confess I prefer Shiver<\/em> with it’s garage band psychedelic score. <\/p>\n

\nNetflix also has Lips Of Blood<\/em> by Rollin, I haven’t checked it out yet but I will. So here’s your chance to view the work of a semi-obscure independent filmmaker, an obsessed visionary that returned to the very same beach to shoot the climax for almost all his films. Check them out.<\/p>\n
