The French erotic-horror filmmaker Jean Rollin has died after a long illness. He was 72. He was a talented, gentle poet of sensual horror, a man who made personal, lush and haunting works that were often ghettoized alongside the efforts of some of his more crass contemporaries and yet almost always offered something more, something richer and more melancholy. With films like The Nude Vampire, Requiem For A Vampire, Lips Of Blood, Fascination, The Living Dead Girl And The Grapes Of Death, Rollin left behind a body of work as infatuated with spurting blood as it was enamored of the curves of the female form, often depicting both within the same frame.
