Jean Rollin • France • 1971 • Rollin's most visually inventive work.

Of all Rollin's films, Shiver is the most visually inventive, teeming with startling images such as Sandra Julien visiting a cemetery in her bridal gown and moving amongst the headstones like a ghost, or the contrast between her white gown and the widow's weeds worn by Isabelle. The vampire Isolde is a striking character, emerging at the stroke of midnight in a startling variety of ways.
