British distributors Indicator/Powerhouse Films have announced their April batch of releases. They are: The Grapes of Death (1978) and The Living Dead Girl (1982). The two releases are scheduled to arrive on the market on April 21.
The Grapes of Death 4K Blu-ray
Description: 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.

Description: Françoise Blanchard (The Sidewalks of Bangkok), Marina Pierro (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Miss Osbourne), and Mike Marshall (Moonraker) star in Jean Rollin's gory classic The Living Dead Girl (La Morte vivante).

Returning to her family home, she is re-acquainted with her childhood friend, Hélène (Pierro), who tries to understand Catherine's predicament and becomes her accomplice, with tragic consequences.
Co-written by Jacques Ralf (The Escapees), and featuring a haunting score by composer Philippe D'Aram (Fascination), The Living Dead Girl is a dark and disturbing fantastique fairy tale.
