The Grapes of Death (Les Raisins de la mort) finds cult director Jean Rollin returning to the horror genre to create a unique blend of zombie movie and contagion thriller, starring Marie-Georges Pascal (I Am Frigid... Why?), Félix Marten (Is Paris Burning?), and Serge Marquand (Cemetery Without Crosses). A young woman, Élizabeth (Pascal), travels deep into wine-making country only to find the locals bearing horrific signs of an infection and behaving violently. Teaming up with Paul (Marten) and Lucien (Marquand), she discovers a deadly pesticide is transforming those who drink the local wine into murderous zombies. Also featuring regular Rollin collaborators Jean-Pierre Bouyxou (The Demoniacs), Paul Bisciglia (Lips of Blood), and - in her first straight acting role - the legendary Brigitte Lahaie (Fascination), The Grapes of Death is a blood-soaked classic of fantastique cinema.
