The Pesticide Side Effect
1 September 2022
Elisabeth (Marie George Pascal) is traveling on vacation by train to Roubles, in the countryside of France, to meet her fiancé Michel (Michel Herval) in the vineyard where he works. The wagon has only one passenger, the also young woman Brigitte (Evelyne Thomas) that Elisabeth befriends and goes to the restroom. When the train stops at a station, a passenger comes on board and when Elizabeth looks at his face, she sees an ulcer with blood and flees from him to the corridor. She stumbles upon Brigitte's body, stops the train using the emergency break and runs through the land until she enters into a small farm house. She stumbles upon a crazy farm with ulcer and his daughter, and she succeeds to escape driving his car. She reaches a small village near to Roubles, meets the young blind woman Lucie (Mirella Rancelot) and discovers that the place is crowded of zombies. What has happened to the locals?

"Les raisins de la mort", a.k.a. "The Grapes of Death", is a reasonable zombie movie with a messy lead character. Elisabeth takes wrong attitudes along the story and the terrible conclusion indicates that she is also infected. The ecological plot is not bad and the reason for the epidemics is well explained as the pesticide side effect in the wine. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "As Uvas da Morte" ("The Grapes of Death")
