What Films Have You Seen Recently?

Sorry about the confusion with the film GROTESQUE. I read the review in DVDWorld, and it has been mentioned in SEXGOREMUTANTS where it has been said the dvd has been postponed until late September, on the 4Digital label.
I honestly thought I saw it on the BBFC website, but apparently it hasn't been officially classified yet.
Hopefully it's going to be uncut.
Sorry once again.

No worries JM.

Alas the longer it remains with the BBFC the more problems they're having with it.

No probs James... It's been rejected now anyway... It'll be interesting to see why.

Watched Rollin's excellent Fascination tonight.

Fascination is the only Rollin film i have sat through and not felt tired.

I admit that a lot of Rollin's output (particularly his vampire films) are an acquired taste - I personally love 'em though!

There are plenty of gems - have you seen Grapes of Death, loops? Classic.

I have seen Grapes of Death i watched it on a double bill with the unbelivably dull Shiver of the Vampires.

I have 2 Rollins in my to watch pile:
Nude Vampire
Lips of Blood

I have bought (since sold it) only one of Jean Rollin's films and that was the
R1 dvd of GRAPES OF DEATH. Some others have been given away free with DVDWorld, and yes I agree, I also fall asleep watching his films.
They are too slow for me, and find his vampire films especially boring.

I think you have to be in the right mood to watch a Rollin movie. Due to personal problems I'm tired almost 100% of the time and just cant muster the enthusiasm.

I finally recieved my Grindhouse Releasing version of I Drink Your Blood today and have just finished watching. I really enjoyed this film what could be better than drugged up satanic hippies with rabies running wild in a small town. It also looks fantastic the colours are so vibrant and it's shot well although the gore effects are a bit hokey but for 1971 its not bad.

This is my second Grindhouse Releasing disc(my copy of Cannibal Holocaust is currently making its way through the great british postal system) and its every bit as good as their release of The Beyond. The transfer is top quality and theres plenty of extras. I also watched the I Drink Your Blood Show extra which was great.

I definitely recommend I Drink Your Blood to anyone who hasnt seen it.
