Fascination [DVD]

Product Information

Lazy journalism has reinforced and perpetuated the cinematic myth that she was purely a Hitchcock creation (springing fully formed into the limelight courtesy of smash-hit drama The 39 Steps), but nothing is further from the truth. This reveals itself in full-blood fashion with the film's most potent dramatic displays -- a set of short homilies voiced by the captivating Franca Mai.

The color timing and framing are closest to the Kino Lorber disc, here with an obvious uptick in detail, more refined shadowy blacks, and a delicate color scheme that looks very painterly throughout (especially with the HDR10-compatible Dolby Vision on the UHD). Unfortunately for the gang members, their leader (Jean-Marie Lemaire) takes off with the gold and heads off to a nearby French chateau.

Set in 1905, the story concerns a group of aristocratic women who acquire more epicurean tastes after drinking ox's blood as a cure of anemia.Those off-put by a fair amount of mild sexually-explicit material in their horror films might want to shy away from Fascination, but those who enjoy indulging in the eroticism of vampiric culture should find plenty of satisfying material to sink their teeth into. There's plenty to look at throughout with the inside, outside, atmosphere, and the plentiful nude scenes.

SPECIAL FEATURES: Cast-Crew Interview(s), Interactive Menu, Photo Gallery, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: This erotic horror film from controversial cult director Jean Rollin is among his best. It becomes apparent that Eva and Elisabeth are awaiting the arrival of a posse of bourgeois females in the middle of the night for some sort of ritualistic meeting. On the morning of their feeding shindig, Marc (Jean Marie Lemaire), a suave professional thief, just so happens to require shelter in their cheteau from his recently-spurned partners in crime.

By 1931, Carroll had successfully made the transition from support player to lead actor, and her role in Fascination as Gwenda Farrell – a jaded actress on the rebound – is arguably one of her best. The scenes with Brigitte slaying with the scythe could've been more effective if they were more graphic.

Fascination is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the only remaining copy of the film known to exist - a nitrate print. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. The usual five Rollin Blu-ray-related trailers are also included along with liner notes by Video Watchdog's Tim Lucas.Meanwhile the other bandits are keeping a safe distance from the castle effectively preventing Marc from leaving while waiting for their chance to launch an attack. The sound quality of the film has never been spectacular, but the audio here is pleasant and distortion-free, with Philippe D'Aram's beautiful score seeping over the decadent imagery like a bloody veil. The films most striking sequence has Eva slashing her way through a group of armed peasants with a large scythe.
