Description
A young couple out for a walk decide to take a stroll through a large cemetery. As darkness begins to fall they realize they can’t find their way out, and soon their fears begin to overtake them.
The Iron Rose is easily one of the most hauntingly beautiful horror flicks made by French maestro Jean Rollin. The film tells the story of a young couple, who venture into a very old and very large cemetery, eventually getting lost within it’s walls. Throughout this time, a mind game between the two arises and begins to battle. Eventually Francoise Pascal’s character adopts to her surroundings.
The Iron Rose is a wonderfully Gothic mood piece, which is primarily set in a cemetery. The film is loaded with hauntingly dark atmosphere of utter hopelessness and there are some surreal situations for example lonely clown walking through the cemetery corridors. Give this lovingly poetic horror flick a look.
