he story..A tremor in a crypt where 2 grave robbers have broken into knocks over a barrel containing a toxic waste, it then revives a beautiful dead heiress. Later, with the help of her childhood friend she must quench her thirst for fresh blood and that means killing. Meanwhile an American woman has captured the woman on camera and decides to investigate. But all those in the village who see the picture say the woman died some time ago...
After seeing "Zombie Lake" some years back i was understandably put off Jean Rollin as a serious director. Although the film was hilarious, its poorness and total ineptness was indefensible. However, after recently seeing and enjoying "Grapes of Death" and "The Iron Rose" i was eager to give the director another chance. I was correct to do so as "The Living Dead Girl" is a good film with nice photography and a genuine morbid atmosphere. Although all logic is thrown out of the window in terms of story it's well acted with a convincing relationship between the 2 lead woman. The direction is impressive with a constant gloomy and dreamy feel and look. Also the gore scenes it must be mentioned are very gory. This is definitely the most bloody film i've seen by Rollin, and although the fx aren't great at times the brutal and frenzied death moments are memorable. I personally don't find this film dull and in the quieter times i was still fascinated.
This release from Redemption is totally uncut and it's in French with English subtitles.
