A toxic spill revives a beautiful, dead heiress (Francoise Blanchard) who needs blood to live and lots of it. Living Dead Girl is an unholy mix of sex, zombiesque violence with some truly poetic and poignant moments amongst the carnage. Nowhere is this contrast in styles more pronounced that the film's shocking and extremely gory finale. (official distributor synopsis)

Despite the questionable quality of the beginning, where the theatrical delivery of the first three victims is somewhere in the realm of amateur attempts at horror, I ended up liking The Living Dead Girl very much and it almost took my breath away with its depth. Even if it doesn’t look like that at first sight, this is one of the smartest horror films I’ve had the honour of watching. The joke is that, like in The Raisins of Death, the evil creature is partially aware of its existence and its actions, which leads to an interesting comparison with the actions of the good creature, represented by the loving sister, who is driven by what? Love, of course.
