The Grapes of Death

4K UHD, Limited Edition

(Jean Rollin, 1978, 91 mins)
Release date: 21 April 2026
Limited Edition 4K UHD (World premiere)

The Grapes of Death (Les Raisins de la mort) finds cult director Jean Rollin returning to the horror genre to create a unique blend of zombie movie and contagion thriller, starring Marie-Georges Pascal (I Am Frigid… Why?), Félix Marten (Is Paris Burning?), and Serge Marquand (Cemetery Without Crosses). 

A young woman, Élizabeth (Pascal), travels deep into wine-making country only to find the locals bearing horrific signs of an infection and behaving violently. Teaming up with Paul (Marten) and Lucien (Marquand), she discovers a deadly pesticide is transforming those who drink the local wine into murderous zombies. 

Also featuring regular Rollin collaborators Jean-Pierre Bouyxou (The Demoniacs), Paul Bisciglia (Lips of Blood), and – in her first straight acting role – the legendary Brigitte Lahaie (Fascination), The Grapes of Death is a blood-soaked classic of fantastique cinema.
