The iconic
French splatter director Antoine Pellissier helms this story [set in 1870]
about a noble family, traveling by coach, to take possession of an inherited
castle in the rural countryside. They soon find themselves trapped in
a Satanic ritual that unleashes bloodthirsty vampires and zombies. Then
- even worse - they become victims of gruesome [and incredibly graphic]
sacrifices.
Filmmaker
Pellissier began his career in extreme cult cinema with the disturbing
short film FOLIES
MEURTRIERES (Crazy Murders) in 1984. Perhaps the most amazing thing
about Antoine Pellissier is 'movie director' isn't his main gig and he
doesn't care if his self-financed projects make money or not. He does
it because he enjoys it. Antoine's films usually take years to complete
because his main job is so demanding of his time. Mr Pellissier is a practicing
medical doctor in Nimes France.
