Amazon.co.uk Review

A pair of society women dressed in all their finery stand in the middle of an abattoir, animal carcasses hanging behind them and blood splashed across the floor. Giggling and fidgeting, they drink their prescribed glass of ox blood. The startling, unreal image of high-society manners in the midst of gore and death pitches Jean Rollin's 1979 feature Fascination into a turn-of-the-century culture come unhinged. When a well-dressed rogue, fleeing from angry partners he double-crossed, takes refuge in a lavish, moat-protected mansion, servant girls Franca Mai and Brigitte Lahaie cajole, tease and seduce him into staying for their night-time soiree. "You have stumbled into Elizabeth and Eva's life, the universe of madness and death", mutters one of them as they await the cabal where he is the guest of honour. Shot on a starvation budget and populated with stiff performers, Rollin's direction is arch and at times sloppy and his story never more than an outline. It's the mix of dreamy and nightmarish imagery that gives Fascination its fascination: blonde Lahaie stalking victims with a scythe, the bourgeois blood cult swarming over a fresh victim like wild animals, alabaster faces streaked in blood. While it lacks the delirious spontaneity of his earlier vampire films Shiver of the Vampires and Requiem for a Vampire, the languid pace and austere beauty creates an often-mesmerising fantasy. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 21 Jan 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Fascination [DVD] [1979] (DVD)

Once again Salvation(Redemption)prove themselves to be one of the few UK horror labels who actually care about the quality of their films, bringing Jean Rollin's excellent Fascination onto region 2 DVD in a beautiful widescreen print. Great film. Great DVD. Uncut.

2.0 out of 5 stars Yet another loser from Jean Rollin!, 27 Jun 2002

By	Mart Sander (www.martsander.com) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fascination (DVD) (Subtitled) (DVD)

Like most of the films of this unfortunate director, this flick concentrates on soft core lesbian activities where you can never actually see anything, however advanced home cinema system you have. What more, one tends to belive the over-ripe girls don't feel anything - an emotion very well conveyed to the viewer. It can be very scary by bits, provided you are chocked by the sight of a door mysteriously opening in overly lit room, a blood-like substance dripping from a plastic knife or a sound of distant thunder on an obviously clear day echoing through a badly built veneer castle on a disused soundstage. Personally I have to admit I have been more frightened by an episode of The Muppet Show. And more aroused by one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Jean Rollin makes a normal film?More than just sexy vampires unclothed, 16 Mar 2007

By	Mad Ahmed "With an exotic interest" (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fascination [DVD] (DVD)

I think so.For him anyway.Good for viewing as a comedown film before going to work on a monday morning.I had this on vhs and a friend borrowed it.On its return the film seemed to be stuck and worn down on a lesbian action scene.That about sums up the film.
