You will find a treasure trove of Jean Rollin films among the new Horror movies on Shudder in June. While you will also be able to watch two films that are written and directed by James Wan and Leigh Whannell, binge all four seasons of the Guillermo Del Toro vampire series, The Strain, and revel in this month's edition of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, there's still so much more that Shudder has to officer this month.
Shudder has made no less than seven of the French auteur director of erotic horror films, Jean Rollin, available for fans this month. It's really a fantastic chance to check out one of the most underseen horror masters whose works indulge in surrealism, hallucinatory visuals, and so many beautiful women. Rollin tends to make movies about vampires, but there is one film, The Grapes of Death, that brings environmental concerns and zombies into his oeuvre.
There will also be four watch parties in addition to the live premiere of the newest Last Drive-In episode. Flying Lotus's newest film, the science fiction horror movie Ash, and Best Wishes to All, a Japanese horror film, will premiere as well.
