A zombie film that could only have been made in France. It's certainly inept, but the premise is brilliant (for a 70ies exploitation piece) and there are certain moments of inspired bad movie magic that made this more than worth my while. A zombie making out with the severed head of a blind chick, for one.

Okay Movie

"...[Rollin's] most suspenseful and accessible production ever."

Once I got over the initial disappointment of this not being about giant killer grapes, I got a nicely atmospheric (if willfully minor) entry in the '70s zombie canon. The sparse rustic settings might remind of Grau's "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie", but the often-atrocious direction and editing won't. Porn star Brigitte Lahaie is the finest actor in the entire film.
