SYNOPSIS:

Jealousy, vengeance, obsession, cannibalism, and blood-drinking collide in Fascination, directorJean Rollins decadent fantasy of sex and death.
When a thief holes up in a remote chteau, taking two beautiful chambermaids hostage, thearrival of his accomplices and the chteaus aristocratic owners leads to an orgy of violence andritualistic bloodletting.
With a standout performance from Brigitte Lahaie (The Night of the Hunted) as the scythe-wielding Eva, and an evocative score from Philippe DAram (The Living Dead Girl), Fascination isone of the purest expressions of Rollins unique fantastique aesthetic.
