Would you say the same for ZOMBIE LAKE? It has been a while since I watched REQUIEM, but the beauty of the film has stayed with me. Probably my favorite Rollin film. FASCINATION does come close, though.
Ha ha! Zombie Lake is definitely on the low end of the Rollin spectrum. I've still got about half his catalog to watch through, but of what I've seen, Fascination definitely takes the win. It has the unfair advantage of starring Brigitte Lahaie, of course. Liked Night of the Hunted, Grapes of Death, and Living Dead Girl as well. I think his vampire stuff actually tends to resonate with me less, for some reason.
Also, does Loomis always listen to fake Howard Stern? He seems a bit old for his demo. And the parents in this are named John and Debra, an obvious homage to John Carpenter and Debra Hill, but they then go on to make John the biggest piece of shit in movie history. Good work! This is easily my low light of the month so far. And I've watched Prom Night.
Side note: I'm writing this as the credits roll, and the music hilariously transitions from John Carpenter's classic piano score....to "What's This Life For?" by Creed! That's. Great. Imagine if the original Halloween ended with Michael Myers disappearing into the night, then Carpenter's creepy 5/4 score, then transitions into "Uptown Girl". What were these people thinking?
