Cult director
Jean Rollin's most unusual and haunting film was this poetic tale of two young lovers (
Francoise Pascal,
Hugues Quester) lost in a cemetery overnight. With only one set, two characters, and a hallucinatory style which could provoke unintentional laughter in some audiences, the film was a commercial disaster.
Quester was so embarrassed that he had his name taken off the credits, where he is now listed as "
Pierre Dupont." Still, as time passed and audiences grew more sophisticated, the film's uniquely peculiar atmospherics have gained it a
cult following, and some even consider it on a par with the original
Carnival of Souls as among the simplest and creepiest of macabre films.
