Theatrical trailer

At once an homage to classical Hollywood thrillers and a playful riff on the newly-popular James Bond films, Attack of the Robots stars Eddie Constantine as a wise-cracking superspy investigating a series of assassinations being performed by ruthless killers with bronze skin and horn-rimmed glasses. The trail of these mindless automata leads him to the lair of a seductive villainess (Françoise Brion, L’Immortelle) who has formulated a computer-powered plot to overthrow the governments of Europe.

Dracula’s Fiancee audio commentary by Lost Girls: The Phantasmagorical Cinema of Jean Rollin editor Samm Deighan

As Eurohorror pioneer Jean Rollin approached the sunset of his career, he distilled the dreamlike images and themes of his work into films that were deeply personal and unapologetically cryptic.

Dracula’s Fiancee stars Jacques Regis as a vampire hunter whose pursuit of the descendants of Count Dracula leads him to a convent, The Order of the White Virgins), where supernatural beings of a parallel world are unleashed, including a bloodthirsty ogress (Magalie Aguado), a wolf-woman (Brigitte Lahaie), and a young woman who is being prepared as Dracula’s bride (Cyrille Iste).

Also included is Lost in New York, perhaps the most dreamlike of Rollin’s “sister” films, a modern-day Alice in Wonderland in which two siblings explore the wastelands of Manhattan.

English theatrical trailer

When the Teramoto family received their new domestic servant, Sara (Ayaka Komatsu), they were provided specific instructions: do not feed her meat ("It may turn feral") and use the enclosed pistol to "dispatch" it, if there is a threat of bodily harm. The fearful neighbors treat the disfigured servant as a monster, even as the family comes to trust and accept her.

Like all good zombie movies, Miss Zombie blends humor with moments of frightening violence, and holds up a mirror to society, forcing us to question who among us are the actual monsters.
