Wonderfully atmospheric and surreal masterpiece., 22 février 2004

Auteur : HumanoidOfFlesh de Chyby, Pologne

"Lips of Blood" is actually one of my favourite films made by Jean Rollin.The film was shot in just three weeks and basically it's a love story filled with lesbian vampires and a lot of female nudity.The film is relatively slow-paced,but offers plenty of wonderful Gothic atmosphere and a tiny bit of gore.The four lesbian vampires are incredibly hot.The story may be boring for some,but I still think that this film is better than most of the crap being put out today.Unfortunately "Lips of Blood" failed to generate much interest at the box office,so Rollin moved toward hard core pornography.Anyway,if you like Jean Rollin's erotic vampire movies give this one a look.Recommended!

A Surreal Bizarre Treat, 12 février 2004
Auteur : pfaul de Melbourne Australia

This is my first Rollin film - and I loved it. Gloriously silly and surreal, I detect many sly references to Bunuel (the boring cocktail party) and Fellini (the cold empty beach like the apocalyptic end to 'La Dolce Vita' - did Spielberg get his floating coffins in 'Empire of the Sun' from this???). The nubile vampires are so unscary and unerotic - they look more like hungry fashion models with a penchant for nasal fairy dust. Who did the hero's hair - Leonard of London? - let's bring back the male bouffant! I think he got that knitted top with the zipper up front after seeing Pink Floyd 'Live at Pompeii'. There are so many great moments - like where the photographer turns at the sound of the doorbell - before it actually rings. What did this mean? Precognition? Bad acting? Who cares. I actually saw this on SBS TV (free to air - unedited). Thankyou SBS - a gem.

Another wonderfully evocative, dream-like film from Jean Rollin., 21 septembre 2002
Auteur : Infofreak de Perth, Australie

The movies of Jean Rollin are an acquired taste. He specializes in haunting, sensual, visually impressive movies that frequently concern memory, or memory loss, and obsessively feature beautiful naked women, usually vampires. Maybe Rollin's therapist can fully explain why his movies deal with this subject matter over and over, but hey, I don't care, it sure works for me! If you haven't seen any of his work, 'Lips Of Blood' is as good a place to start as any, but frankly I've never seen a bad movie by him yet. They're all good. I'm hooked!

Jean-Lou Philippe stars (and co-scripts) as a thirty something man who becomes obsessed with a photograph which reminds him of of his almost-forgotten childhood, which is sketchy at best. He attempts to track down the location in the picture, and this brings back memories of a beautiful and mysterious girl (the lovely Annie Belle/Briand, who also worked with Deodato and D'Amato) he once met. He finds himself uncovering a family secret and his life goes in a direction he could never have anticipated.

'Lips Of Blood' is yet another wonderfully evocative, dream-like film from Jean Rollin. A truly unique film maker who creates fascinating worlds that are both seductive and dangerous. Rollin is one of the best kept secrets in horror, and a master of erotic fantasy.

Art house exploitation at it's finest!, 7 juillet 2000
Auteur : monsterhead_x (monsterhead_x@yahoo.com) de Minneapolis, MN

If your one who enjoys the recent surge in European horror films, by all means watch this delirious, non-sensical, erotic gem courtesy of director Jean Rollin.

From nude vampire women roaming the streets of Paris, to spooky castles and graveyards. LIPS OF BLOOD is sure to please

Be forewarned, as this film is for acquired tastes only. A must for sleazy, soft core horror buffs who enjoy their movies with an art house touch.

Better than LIVING DEAD GIRL, 10 juin 2003

Auteur : Bryce David

LIPS OF BLOOD is the second Jean Rollin film I've seen and I have to say that I enjoyed it more than LIVING DEAD GIRL. The acting, script and sets are very unspectacular, sometimes goofy and somewhat unconvincing, but the arch of the story is a bit more interesting than the one in LIVING DEAD GIRL, which I thought was too slow for its own good.

Some scenes were contrived and the script is filled with holes, but I thought the overall film was okay. Nothing earth shattering but it's an enjoyable change of pace and attitude from other (mostly US) horror films out there. LIPS OF BLOOD hasn't turned me off from wanting to see more Jean Rollin films.

another winner from Jean Rollin, 9 janvier 2007

Auteur : TheatreX de Louisville, KY

Lips of Blood is another of Jean Rollin's stylish and dreamy (not to mention creepy) exercises in waif-like partly clothed vampires on the prowl, and if they don't get your interest then nothing will. A man dreams of a castle where he supposedly had some sort of incident when he was a child, and then he sees a picture of this castle at someone's home during a party and they won't tell him where it is. He is obsessed because he thinks there was a young woman there then that he slept next to during the night he spent there (platonically, these are kids, even in a Rollin film he has his limits, OK?). It seems that the man is being protected from his childhood memories by his mother but he manages to find what he's looking for despite her best efforts. The vampires he has accidentally loosed are gorgeous as usual, wearing pastel gowns with all the body-concealing power of cling wrap. This is very dream-like but also pretty creepy too, and the story line is minimal, so just settle back and enjoy the visual feast. 8 out of 10.

*** Ce commentaire peut contenir des spoilers ***

Frederick, a man with no memory of his childhood, attends a party at which he sees a poster of some ruins which stirs, what he believes to be, memories his youth. He seems to recall meeting, and falling in love with, a young girl at the ruins 20 years previously. His mother dismisses the idea, angering Frederick who sets off to see if he can track down the ruins in the poster. His searching takes him through the dark, desolate streets of Paris where he accidentally sets free 4 vampire women who seem to protect him on his quest. All the while he is seeing or having visions of the young girl from years ago……. This being a Jean Rollin film, the expected dodgy acting and plethora of gratuitous nudity is firmly in place but does not distract from the weird and wonderful goings-on. The themes of lost childhood, memories and dreams are fused together creating what comes across as a filmed nightmare as Frederick roams the Parisian streets, searching for something he doesn't know how to find. The ending of the film is bizarre, beautiful and touching all at once. I loved it.

Awesome Rollin flick! *Spoilers*, 22 décembre 2004

*** Ce commentaire peut contenir des spoilers ***

Awesome Rollin flick , that's haunting and has a beautiful location once again in the Ruins. The atmosphere is extremely creepy, and the directing was awesome, Rollin went all crazy this time with the camera, the crazy camera angles, plus he kept the film at an awesome pace. The 2 main leads were awesome, Frederic and The young girl were great together and had very good chemistry together. The ending was awesome and was very creative. I also really loved the story to this as well. I really like Rollin's style and hope to catch more of his movies. There is a little bit of blood. we get lots of blood sucking , a stake through the heart but that's about it. The acting was great. Jean-Loup- Philippe was awesome here i really liked him plus him and Annie Belle had great chemistry together. Annie Belle was very pretty and did awesome here and had good chemistry with Jean. Frederic's mother was also very good. Overall an absolute must see for Rollin lovers! **** out of 5

Lips of Blood, 13 mai 2007

Auteur : Scarecrow-88 de Etats-Unis

*** Ce commentaire peut contenir des spoilers ***

A man finds memories about a vampiress he met as a child rekindled when he sees a beautiful poster of ruins at a party. He is inspired to seek out those ruins as he sees visions of the vampiress while others try to thwart his mission to find her, such as his mother, a supposed girl he knew from childhood, a hit-man, psychiatric doctor, etc. Yet, anytime someone tries to halt the man's search for the ruins, vampire girls kill them allowing him to continue. No matter what his mother tries to accomplish, this man desires to find this vampiress and will do whatever it takes to find her. It'll come to a head at the Sauveterre Castle where the vampiress is buried..will the man, Frederic find Jenifer? Or, will Frederic finally listen to his mother's pleas at allowing Jenifer, the vampiress responsible for his own father's death, to roam free from the tomb of her coffin?

With limited dialogue, it seems director Jean Rollin wishes to capture you with visuals. The problem I had is the visuals are so coldly(..and oddly)displayed, I had a hard time getting involved in the film. Jean-Loup Philippe bored me to tears as Frederic, the young man on his search. He barely registers as the protagonist..actually, his method of acting blends itself well within Rollin's quiet, unenergetic direction which holds silence as things occur on screen at a snail's pace. Annie Belle(The House on the Edge of the Park)is a stunning beauty as the vampiress, but she, like Philippe, often stares blankly towards the screen. The film, quite honestly, has some pretty terrible vampire-bite sequences because the vampire girls simply nookie on their victims. The film is beautiful, with some haunting location work and fluid camera-movement. That alone helps, but I had a hard time staying awake through it.

A Woman he couldn't forget, a love that can't be denied!, 6 mai 2009

Auteur : hovey1127 de Etats-Unis

Lips of Blood (1975) (Lèvres de sang)- Jean Rollin directed this slower story a man seeking to reconnect to his childhood and the vampire he is destined to be reunited to. Frédéric (Jean-Loup Philippe) is haunted by the images of some ruins he visited as a child and starts a journey to find them. Someone is trying to prevent this from happening, who could it be? His over protective Mother (Nathalie Perrey) advice is to forget the past but Frédéric can't do that. His dreaming leads him to a tomb where he releases a group of scantily clad female vampires who seem to aid him and terrorized him in his quest. When he finally finds the vampire from the past, Jennifer (Annie Belle); his mother comes to him and says that she has been protecting him from the Vamps and he must help her put an end to them. She and her friends had long ago trapped the vampires and now wish to burn them. He is assigned to get Jennifer's head for this purpose. He does not bring the real head and instead frees the beautiful Jennifer to be her lover. She turns him and they sail away in a coffin. (not kidding here) The movie making is standard for the time period with heavy music and blue and red lighting for effect. There are no special effects besides the lovely bodies of the beautiful vamps. The nudity is more casual than pornographic. Subtitled pay attention or you will miss the reveals. Very straight forward compared to some of Rollin's more abstract work. Rating (6.5)
