   I thought I'd learned my lesson with Jean Rollin's Facination, but I started watching The Living Dead Girl (La morte vivante) before I realized it was his work. A much better film, though it's also about blood-sucking nymphettes. A chemical spill near a crypt raises a young woman from the dead so she can bodily haunt her old chateau and one thinks perhaps take revenge on her "blood sister" who, in youth, made a blood pact with her that whoever died first, the other would follow. It's been two years and the woman's still alive. But that isn't really where the movie goes with it, rather making the blood sister a willing participant in feeding the poor "morte", who really doesn't want this unlife. More naturalistic at first, the film goes full Rollin a third of the way in, as people get naked and the blood sister starts talking in a writerly way that doesn't sound natural at all. Though there are few competent actors in the cast, Marina Pierro as the "sister" is wretchedly wooden and a big problem for me. But the movie doesn't go into complete erotica, despite its presentation of an obsessively toxic relationship, and its eponymous character is unusual for the genre while also providing plenty of gore moments. 1 year 6 months ago
