Ard Vijn ScreenAnarchy It is definitely recommended for Rollin fans, but for all others I say give it a try but expect the usual trappings of dated horror. Jan 17, 2020 Full Review Gary M. Kramer Gay City News "Fascination" is at times bloody and baroque, but it remains intriguing even if there are few surprises in how the story will play out. Dec 19, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

laurent b Slow-pace movie, but quite mesmerizing because of its eroticism and the strange atmosphere and poetry it has. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member One of cult film director Jean Rollin's more accessible films, an erotic vampire thriller which has a slow, dreamy quality to it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A great Jean Rollin film..! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad, however the denouement is such a let down to the nice tension Rollin had built up to that point. I still have to go with The Iron Rose as the perfect example of Rollin's style of continual dread coupled with kinky eroticism, but this was definitely fun at times and beautifully shot. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Of the Jean Rollin erotic vampire horror films that I have seen thus far, this is my favorite--I have yet to become a huge fan of his. This film, however, has begun to change my opinion as its blends genuine stylistic vision and horrific ideas together with the usual gore, nudity, and sex. In Fascination, Rollin manages to create a truly mesmerizing descent into erotic terror as it also surrealistically interrogates and undermines notions of class and station in the face of evil and pure desire. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Fascination is a fairly ludicrous French 'erotic' horror. At times the set-ups feel akin to soft-porn but at the same time it is inevitably quite a fun film to watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
