My first Jean Rollin movie and I really liked it. I saw a review that described it as The Crazies set in the world of the Blind Dead films and I think that describes it perfectly.

Jean Rollin has his fans, and even some of them don't particularly care for The Grapes of Death. Others wax ecstatic over it. As ever, I have to watch a movie myself before I ascribe to one view or another.

A vineyard manager mixes up his own pesticide, which makes his workers sick. Worse yet, when the wine is premiered at a festival, everyone that drank it turns into a homicidal maniac with weeping pustules. It is a novel take on the zombie trope, I give you that.

However, our heroine has the brains of a pithed frog, making one incredibly bad decision after another, until the downbeat ending... if you manage to make it that far.

I prefer his more esoteric vampire fiction, but this isn't terrible. You really need to have a taste for Rollin and Eurohorror to truly appreciate some of this stuff.

A pesticide that is applied to grapes in French wine country turns the people into zombie like killers. One of Jean Rollin's best films and one of the better "zombie" films.

Regarded as one of the better Jean Rollins films, this is better than the only other one I've seen: Living Dead Girl. It's a bit too brightly lit and plodding to truly horrify.

Your basic zombie survival fare, this concerns a young woman who returns to rural France after a holiday to find that almost everyone has been turned into a crazed psycho by a grisly skin disease that makes them look as though they've had a bunch of latex and stage blood chucked at their faces. While evading their attacks, she keeps meeting equally pulchritudinous strangers who appear to be uninfected, before quickly ending up topless and dead. It's quite repetitive, with zero plot development until the last 30 minutes, when it's finally revealed what's caused the plague. Although to be honest, the title rather gives that away. Still, it's amiable enough and, while obviously done on the cheap, is gorgeously filmed.

DVD, Atlanta, Georgia. Moody zombie Eurohorror from Jean Rollin that gets better with each viewing.

Not nearly as awesome as the poster makes it look. It's mostly about people with skin conditions and poor make-up lunging at chicks and a lot of talk, talk, talk in between. Some of the effects are pretty gruesome though*. Needs more tits. I was also disappointed that the movie does not parody Grapes of Wrath in anyway.

*Not the beheadings.
