The Shiver of the Vampires(1971)

5.1/10

dir. Jean Rollin

S-Tier

Rollin's psychedelic vampire film is the one boutique collectors point to as the entry point into his work. Indicator's 4K restorations of Rollin have been consistently strong, and the saturated color palette should benefit the most from the HDR pass.

The Grapes of Death(1978)

5.8/10

dir. Jean Rollin

Indicator's April Rollin double with The Living Dead Girl gives collectors a proper entry point into his weirder, more atmospheric work. Grapes of Death is the more accessible of the two, with real dread underneath all the eurohorror fog.
