Pesticide being sprayed in French vineyards are infecting the locals, turning them into rotting killers. This film is regarded or promoted as a zombie movie but in my opinion it is an infection movie. Either way it has all the usual Rollin ingredients - gore, beautiful women, nudity, superb use of French rural locations and lashings of atmosphere. Among the highlights are an extremely graphic, though fake looking, decapitation, plus Brigitte Lahaie shedding her clothes. The conversation between two male members does tend to drift off topic a few times in the second half, just a minor gripe. Not my favourite Rollin movie but it is still a great example of his work and of 1970's Euro horror.
