Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Iron Rose, the original French mix and an English dub, both presented in uncompressed Linear PCM 2.0. As with the picture quality, the audio sometimes exhibits evidence of the film's low-budget origins--dynamic tinniness, light hiss, audible pops and crackles--but nothing you wouldn't expect and nothing outright distracting in fact it adds so much to the atmosphere, not to mention I really enjoy the fact that they kept the look of that era w/o too much cleaning up (ie. DNR). Piere Raph's forlorn score isn't quite as memorable as the prog-rock soundtrack from Shiver of the Vampires or the eerie clamoring and screeching violins of The Nude Vampire, but it sounds reasonably clear and present. Most importantly, dialogue, while never perfectly clean--there's some slight muffling at times--is at least always understandable and balanced in the mix. The English dub isn't half bad, but if you're a purist you'll certainly want to stick with the original French. The disc includes only the option of English subtitles. This film is the definitive Jean Rollin film, that is a MUSY HAVE!!

Excellent slow-burning foreign horror movie! Excellent performances, cinematography and directing.
