Directed by Jean Rollin

A newlywed couple travels to a small town to visit the bride's cousins—her last two surviving relatives—at the castle where they live, only to discover that the cousins have just died and the castle is now inhabited by vampires.

Why it matters

Jean Rollin's surreal vampire tale, set in a ruined abbey, where a honeymooning couple encounter two undead cousins. A psychedelic, dreamlike take on gothic tropes.
