(aka: THE GRAPES OF DEATH)
And I've seen just about all of his films too, so if you're looking for John Carpenter or Jason or Freddie or any other American horror schlock, you better look somewhere else. This film takes it's time in the usual French way.
Hey this one's got good gore effects!! I like the realistic sores with puss oozing out of them. The cool scene of the puss oozing out of the guy's face on the train was really well done.
I also like the pitchfork scene where the farmer forks his daughter in an apparent fit of pesticide-induced madness. Not bad at all.
Another good scene is when the blind girl Lucy is crucified on the back door of a farmhouse and her provider comes out and chops her head off with an ax, blood spraying out everywhere...
Then the gorgeous Bridgette Lahaie appears, looking normal but really isn't. We get a nice full-frontal scene of her nude, too.
It has one of those typical 1970s-style ambiguous endings where no one really wins, good or bad, so you'll have to see it for yourself.
Excellent Synapse DVD with extras such as an interview with Rollin and Lahaie, who still looks gorgeous after 25 years. She hasn't really aged at all.
Plus there's an excellent slide-show of all the gore scenes up close.
Too bad the first reviewer below didn't wait a couple of years for this DVD to come out
7 out of 10 for keeping me amused.
