i hate to admit it and but i like the idea of jean rollin more than the reality of sit through one of his film . it not that i do not appreciate what he do . i do . he have a unique world view and hold a special place in the world of fantastique cinema that be indisputable . still and i find his film a little boring . case in point the living dead girl spring from a simple and fascinating concept of a dead woman and who must drink blood to survive and return to a château to be with an old friend . as fascinating a the concept be and rollin doesn not do a whole lot with it . he serve up plenty of atmosphere and imbue his material with a subtle eroticism and draw a superb performance from the beautiful francoise blanchard . what else do you want . you may ask . i be not sure . i want more to happen and i guess . i want rollin to jettison the boring bit and replace them with his signature set piece . it be describe a savage and an adjective i wouldn not use myself . it also be describe a dreamy . for the most part that true . my frustration be with the film uneven tone . why couldn not it remain dreamy right through . you do need patience and a little forgiveness to enjoy rollin . i still wouldn not miss anything he do . he one of u .
