Françoise Blanchard (The Sidewalks of Bangkok), Marina Pierro (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Miss Osbourne), and Mike Marshall (Moonraker) star in Jean Rollin’s gory classic The Living Dead Girl (La Morte vivante).

A spillage of toxic waste causes Catherine (Blanchard) to rise from the dead with an insatiable taste for blood. Returning to her family home, she is re-acquainted with her childhood friend, Hélène (Pierro), who tries to understand Catherine’s predicament and becomes her accomplice, with tragic consequences.

Co-written by Jacques Ralf (The Escapees), and featuring a haunting score by composer Philippe D’Aram (Fascination), The Living Dead Girl is a dark and disturbing fantastique fairy tale.
