Jean Rollin, the French filmmaker who has earned a potent cult following
for his unique blend of eroticism and horror, directed this disturbing tale of
a woman who has come back from the dead. When the grave of
Catherine (Francoise Blanchard) is disturbed by an earthquake and
fouled by a chemical spill, the young woman, not long deceased, rises
from her tomb with a taste for blood and a desire to return to the home
where she grew up. Catherine finds herself drawn to Helene (Marina
Pierro), who became her "blood sister" as a child. Similarly, Helene feels
compelled to help her old friend, and as they are drawn closer together,
Helene finds young women to satisfy Catherine's ever-increasing lust for
blood and flesh. La Morte Vivante was released in English-speaking
countries as The Living Dead Girl. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
