Finished the Rollin vampire cycle. In all honesty they are all almost the same movie. Shiver had the best sets and production, Requiem has a 20-minute sequence of pure hardcore pornography. (To be fair, it fits the story, so I guess: not gratuitous?) I'm glad I've seen them, I get why he was considered A Thing, but it's all so dated now it's mostly an experience about hey look what counted as a racey intellectual French art film in 1969?
The constant return to the same cemetery and beach and castles actually makes it comforting. You get the idea that the people who made the movies were delving into one another's and their own psychotropic experiences with child like curiosity.
And the girls are cute, despite the armpit hair.
I give the whole thing a B-. I don't really recommend it (it's expensive AF).
