4.0 out of 5 stars Camp Vamps 3 Aug 2007
By Johnny Guitar
Format:DVD
Rollin made his name in 1960s Paris with arty erotic horror movies & followed up with this 1970 colour movie with relatively decent budget, cast & crew. It is filmed on location in a scenic castle where a group of ultra-camp hippie vampires appear & disappear through grandfather clocks by day & frolic in graveyards by night. The whole thing is slow & dreamy (plot? - what plot?) & has the requisite early 70s whacked out psychedelic ambience (lots of coloured filters!) & of course the female cast lose their clothes at frequent intervals. Sandra Julien makes an appealing heroine as the innocent who gets a taste for blood.
Rollin made many more films using the same formula but with diminishing returns. Shiver of the Vampires is, with Jess Franco's Vampyros Lesbos, probably the best example of the, er, "psychedelic lesbian vampire" genre. Basic DVD - but reasonable print & thankfully subtitles not English dubbing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, highly stylized and sexy horror film. 24 Jun 2000
By Daniel Hirshleifer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
This film, like all of Jean Rollin's films, is not for everyone. He has a style all his own, which is on display in this movie. This film is notable for the hippie cousins, who are funnier than any other Rollin characters in any of his films. The DVD transfer is very clean and clear, some peopl have remarked that they couldn't believe it was made in the 70's. If you're a fan of this type of horror film, and keep in mind this isn't normal horror, then this one is quintessential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visionary vampire film 18 Mar 2001
By Ava Lomax - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
No one makes movies like Jean Rollin, and this is his masterpiece. Like most of his visions it seems to be about innocence and corruption, the attraction Evil has to Good,(and vice versa,)and the discovery of beauty in the unlikeliest of places. This movie is very sexy, very slow, very weird. The music, lighting, absurd dialogue, and slow pacing help create a more poetic and imagistic type of film than we're used to here in the go-go States. If your taste in vampire movies runs more toward the Alyssa Milano variety then you'll probably not like this--it has more in common with Pasolini's Arabian Nights than The Hunger. And the DVD edition is terrific, with a trailer, photo gallery, and Redemption's trademark gothed-out lesbo introduction (which rates five stars all by itself.)

2.0 out of 5 stars Far from shivering... 31 Aug 2001
By Jason A. Levine - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I debated as to whether or not I should review this DVD...After all, when it comes to this 'genre' of releases, it's really all about personal taste; and generally, if you dig these works of lesbianic-vampire grooviness (which I do), replete with the classic 'sexadelic' soundtracks, (largely, why I dig them) then it's usually a no-brainer...

However, this film definitely left me shivering, as my cold, lifeless body fell asleep on the couch and woke up several hours later with no blanket, wondering, "Did I actually fall asleep?"

And did I? YES.

The movie is a bore. From the opening scenes, it shows promise. Fairly decent music (though, truly more of an acid-jam band, rather than the fab 'progressive-rock' that is touted on the inside cover of the DVD) and a truly impressive transfer made it seem like a winner...But it just went downhill from there.

Little dialogue, little story, and little snippets of vampirotica make this one a dud. It hardly shines like the classic 'Vampyros Lesbos', and again, a great transfer alone does not a good movie make.

I will say this...If you are truly a collector of period pieces, and can stand the long, drawn out, obviousness of a movie going nowhere...well, then step up and shell out .....But, if you're truly into the 'real-deal'...seek out something else.
