Fascination [Standard Edition Blu-ray]

Jealousy, vengeance, obsession, cannibalism, and blood-drinking collide in Fascination, director Jean Rollin’s decadent fantasy of sex and death. When a thief holes up in a remote château, taking two beautiful chambermaids hostage, the arrival of his accomplices and the château’s aristocratic owners leads to an orgy of violence and ritualistic bloodletting. With its standout performance from Brigitte Lahaie, as the scythe-wielding Eva, and an evocative score from Philippe D’Aram, Fascination is one of the purest expressions of Rollin’s unique fantastique aesthetic.
