In the most personal of Jean Rollin's moody, erotic horror films, a man tries to solve the riddle of a vague childhood memory, which leads him in pursuit of a beautiful vampire, and the revelation of a horrible family curse. (Screenbound Pictures)

While it might seem that Jean Rollin was a bit of a pervert, I certainly wouldn't consider him one. His depiction of nudity is not shallow, and above all it is not explicit. It's beautiful. Yes, it's aimed at women, but there is also male nudity in Lips of Blood. However, I'm the type who prefers more plot-driven films, so this one didn't manage to charm me all that much.

Lips of Blood. Jean Rollin is the French Joe D´Amato. He first made a name for himself as one of the few French horror filmmakers of the 1970s, only to end up directing porn, and I reckon he was better at porn than at horror. Lips of Blood is a very unsuccessful and boring attempt at horror with a touch of surrealism, it's confusingly edited and totally inept. But there are subtle hints of Rollin's later work here too: the naked women are quite enjoyable and the three young vampires wandering aimlessly through the city wear cute, sheer dresses. But those are the only memorable things in the film.
