The Vampire Films of Jean Rollin DVD Box (DVD)
As the constraints of censorship began to ease in the late 1960's and early 1970's, visionary French filmmaker Jean Rollin created a series of mesmerizing thrillers that injected the Gothic vampire film with a more contemporary strain of eroticism. Fluctuating between visual poetry and shocking violence, Rollin's deeply personal films have come to be recognized as classics of the horror genre.
