| | 3,0 von 5 Sternen Leider eines der schwächeren Werke von Jean Rollin | 2023-03-24
Meine Rezension bezieht sich auf die Blackhouse-BD-Edition des Films "The Escapees" aus dem Jahr 2017. Der 106:53 Minuten lange Film wurde 1981 gedreht und war einer der Filme von Rollin (1938-2010), der mit nur sehr wenig Budget umgesetzt werden mußte. Das sieht man ihm in jeder Minute an, da er größtenteils auf Schrottplätzen, im heruntergekommenen Seemannsmillieu oder auf billigen Parkplätzen spielt. In "Night of the Hunters" aus dem Vorjahr war es kein Problem für Rollin,
| | 1,0 von 5 Sternen was n quark! | 2022-12-31
nee...also echt nicht. total billiger quark. als ich am anfang schon diese szene sah: teenie klasse besucht hochsicherheitstrakt in anstalt....zufällig wird der gefährlichste gefange verlegt und auch noch durch den gang geführt , indem die klasse ist...die müssen natürlich nicht raus......NEIIIIIN.....sie bleiben im gang, sollen sich zur wand drehen...nicht gucken.....und den höchst gefährlichen killer zentimeterdicht vorbei laufen lassen. hahahaaaaa...was ein müll !!!!! das spricht bände. und
| | 3,0 von 5 Sternen film war ok | 2022-10-26
der film war ganz ok aber mir persönlich hat mehr horro gefehlt und spannung ,erschrekungs moment
| | 1,0 von 5 Sternen Echt jetzt ? total schlecht | 2021-10-08
Null echte Handlung, alles passt nicht zusammen und null Spannung. Sehr schade.....
| | 1,0 von 5 Sternen Schlechter als schlecht. | 2021-09-21
Nachdem ich die hübschen Schauspielerin gesehen dachte ich da passiert wenigstens etwas spannendes aber naja ist halt schlecht. Müsst ihr wissen.
| | 5.0 out of 5 stars Great | 2020-02-25
Arrived no problems and played fine
| | 4.0 out of 5 stars A Cinematic Poem | 2019-07-08
Pure cinematic poetry. No vampires! More like the world of Marcel Carne - docks and dim nightclubs and travelling theatre performers. Goes astray towards the end - introducing unnecessary sex and violence. But the very last sequence has tragic beauty. The less there is a story, the better. The disc includes a very good interview with Rollin.
| | 1,0 von 5 Sternen Vorhersehbar und primitiv | 2019-03-03
Dieser Film ist dermaßen schlecht ..... Ich kann nur abraten ihn anzuschauen.
| | 4.0 out of 5 stars Spoilers ... | 2018-05-10
Marie (Christiane Coppé) has an incurable inability to communicate with the outside world, and has been in care on three separate occasions. We first see her sitting in isolation, rocking to and fro forlornly in a chair in the misty gardens of a stately asylum. It’s the classic, haunting type of scene French Director Jean Rollin excels at. Curiously, Marie begins a rapport with fellow inmate angry, loud Michelle (Laurence Dubas), and together, they plan to escape from the institution. Once

The film was ok just daft at the end
| | 3,0 von 5 Sternen gar nicht so schlecht | 2017-06-23
also ich finde 1 mal kann man sich den film schon anschauen, er ist meiner meinung nach recht gut, verstehe die ganzen negativen kritiken nicht, gut es ist natürlich kein meisterwerk , aber liegt durchaus im durchschnitt
| | 4.0 out of 5 stars not much dialog | 2017-06-13
jean rollin film, his films are know for very little dialog. so if you are looking for a normal amount of dialog you may want to skip this. otherwise it is a good film.
| | 3.0 out of 5 stars A rough draft for Two Orphan Vampires? | 2016-04-13
Judging from the reviews on Amazon, Jean Rollin inspires either strong devotion or passionate hatred. I discovered his films a few years ago and quickly became a fan of his quirky horror. The Escapees is a project he did when he was advised to try moving away from horror films. In an interview on this DVD, Rollin notes his problems working with the screenwriter (as an aside, if the room where the interview was conducted was Rollin's, it suggests he and I had similar tastes in interior

Ok for an artsy movie.
| | 3.0 out of 5 stars Wanted to like this more than I did | 2015-08-31
Wanted to like this more than I did...I was unable to finish it...I just found myself pausing, and pausing..until I finally just lost interest in finishing it and turned it off.
| | 3.0 out of 5 stars 3 stars | 2015-08-20
Jean Rollin meets Eric Rohmer?! Seriously, that is what it felt like watching this one. A real departure from Rollin's usual style with characters that seem almost cut from another type of genre completely. I've given this 3 stars, but perhaps 2 1/2 would be more appropriate, however there isn't that option. I like the audacity to try something new and for this reason I gave 3. In the supplemental materials, Rollin gives a lukewarm feeling in the interview about it. The film was
| | 4.0 out of 5 stars A LOOK AT THE 2015 BLU-RAY VERSION | 2015-05-25
When Redemption released Jean Rollin's Les Paumees Du Petit Matin (The Escapees) back in 2009 on DVD the disc felt a bit like of a Godsend for fans. After all, The Escapees had long been one of the hardest of Rollin's features to see, so finally having an official release was in itself a cause to celebrate. Sadly that 2009 DVD was mired by a number of technical issues. The non-anamorphic disc offered up a flat smeary looking print with drab colors and a generally inconsistent look. Add

Slow moving, even for something in French.
| | 4.0 out of 5 stars "But they're just kids." | 2014-11-11
This story of two young women determined not to be locked away (by an asylum, by society, by their own fears) is universal but, because told by Rollin, it is also delightfully unique. A nice, mellow piece with all sorts of Bohemian imagery, it never quite reaches its potential, but is well worth watching.
| | 2,0 von 5 Sternen Wenn man ein Beispiel für "Typisch-Ami-Film" sucht..... | 2014-08-17
....dann ist man bei diesem Film genau an der richtigen Adresse. Gott sei Dank haben wir uns diesen Film nur aus der Videothek ausgeliehen. Ohne Vorahnung und ohne Vorurteile was uns erwartet. Da die Hauptrolle von Dominic Purcell gespielt wird (besonders bekannt aus der erfolgreichen Serie "Prison Break"), war ich allerdings der Meinung, dass der Film zumindest kein Flop sein würde......das ist er aber definitiv! Sowas von hervorsehbare Handlung, dumme und austauschbare Charaktere,

Did not care for the subject matter or the way it was portrayed in the film.
| | 1,0 von 5 Sternen Zeitverschwendung | 2014-03-05
Wie so häufig in C-Klasse Videos tappen die Schauspieler unmotiviert durch den Set und verhalten sich absolut unlogisch und dämlich, so das man sich schon fast darüber ärgern könnte. Die Handlung ist vorhersehbar und die einzelnen Charaktere bleiben total oberflächlich. Spannend ist es allenfalls die ersten 5 Minuten am Anfang. Der Film ist totale Zeitverschwendung, genausogut könnte man 90min einem tropfenden Wasserhahn zusehen.
| | 4.0 out of 5 stars An old good movie about some fem fatels!! | 2014-02-26
I liked this old movie,maybe it was the mood I was in while watching?I think it was for the raw european content back in the early 1980's or the frenchy style "everything goes" stuff(nudity no big deal?),but it was entertaining enough!The acting was mediocure at best but back in them days ,it wasn't a big deal!!Watch it for the story of a couple of mixed up girls that split from a mental instatuation and find their way to a strange ending and all the people they encounter along
| | 2,0 von 5 Sternen eigentlich ne nette Story aber ... | 2013-12-19
an dem Film ist nicht vile neu, die Darsteller oft dümpeln herum, zu oft sieht man junge Ziegen gie nichts machen außer Schön sein, der Film ist nicht so gut, er ist auch teilweise langweilig und er bietet wenig Spannung.
| | for a Vampire | 2013-12-09
The Escapees (1981) is a Director Jean Rollin, horror film that tries to sneak up on you with frights, jumping out at you with bizarre genres, like when two young women come out of no where and try to scare you with feelings of degradation.There are various exploitation scenes but the scene that exploits the most embarrassment is the scene that took place at night with the mother in her insane asylum bed when she saw a bizarre baby coming to the side of her bed.This film really was not as
| | Ugh!!! | 2013-05-05
I'm a European from France, and I'm inclined to view myself as sharing most of the sensibilities that typically come along with that. I'm generally a careful reviewer, intent upon not being unduely discouraging, but I've got to say here . . . crap is crap!!!! This is like a D+ (or at the very best and most generous, a C-# film school term project. It cuts incoherently from here to there-- totally lacking edited continuity-- and it ends with cops who had just engaged in an
| | 4,0 von 5 Sternen mal etwas anderes | 2013-01-28
Eigentlich habe ich den Film nur geholt,da ich ein fan von Dominic Purcell bin.Er ist OK.Aber ich habe mehr erwartet.Obwohl er zu den Hauptdarstellern gehört finde ich sieht man ihn zu wenig. Das Ende finde ich nicht so toll,da es meiner Meinung nach kein richtiges Ende ist.
| | 1000x gesehen 1000x ist nix passiert | 2013-01-10
Natürlich wiederholen sich Filme !! Das Rad wird nicht mehr Neu erfunden das weiss wohl jeder. Solche Beitrage mit einem eh schlechten Schauspieler kann einem in Zukunft erspart bleiben.
| | Das Böse findet seinen Weg. | 2013-01-08
Der Klinikbesuch der jungen Studentin Abby Jones motiviert einen der Hochsicherheitspatienten wenig später die Flucht zu ergreifen. Fortan heftet er sich an die Fersen von Abby und trachtet ihr nach dem Leben. Währenddessen studiert Abby mit ihrer Mitbewohner wohlbehütet von Nachbar und Polizisten Carter Thomas zuhause.Die geradlinige Geschichte wird einfallslos erzählt. Dialoge und schlüssige Handlungen feilen kaum an den Profilen der Protagonisten. Sie bleiben oberflächlich und austauschbar.
| | Absolut lahme Gurke | 2012-12-14
Psychopathen werden gerne in Filmen eingesetzt. Mit solchen Typen kann man immer ordentlich auf die Kacke hauen und oft ist die Motivation des Täters ordentlich ausgefeilt. Nicht im Falle von "Escapee" - da reicht schon ein Blickkontakt zwischen der Studentin Abby (Christine Evangelista) und Harmon Porter (Dominic Purcell) aus, der daraufhin eine wahnsinnige Begierde für sie entwickelt (Das erinnert irgendwie an die Möwen aus "Nemo": "Meins, meins, meins...!). Harmon
| | 2.0 out of 5 stars The Escapees. Nonsense film. | 2012-05-20
i wish i had not bought this film. it makes no sense a very nonsense film. I will give my own out for free. just send postage its all yours.
| | "Ich bin gleich da...!!" | 2012-01-03
Die Entscheidung, "Escapee" auszuleihen ist wohl darin begründet, dass Dominic Purcell die Hauptrolle spielt. In Prison Break und ein paar Kinofilmen hat er seine Sache meiner Meinung nach sehr gut gemacht, zumal seine Charaktäre meist schwer zu spielen sind. Nach der Beschreibung hätte ich jedoch vielmehr einen Psychothriller erwartet. "Escapee" entpuppt sich jedoch schon nach wenigen Minuten als simpel gestrickter Horrorfilm im B-Movie-Gewand und mit C-Movie-Charme.Zunächst
| | 4.0 out of 5 stars Rock'n'Rollin. | 2011-02-12
This is the story of two girls, Marie (innocent) and Michelle (angry) who escape from some kind of institution and go on the run meeting thieves, yuppies, junkyard strippers, a boat load of rowdy sailors and a philosophical sea shanty singing transvestite bar owner. I've seen average Rollin and extremely poor Rollin but this is one of his better offerings, he concentrates on the beatnik like script and keeps the nudity to a minimum although Brigitte Lahaie makes a nude cameo appearance in a
| | A Weak Entry In Rollin's Pantheon Of Surrealistic Gothic Horror... | 2010-11-07
Jean Rollin's films (maybe we should call them experiments/treatises in filmmaking, as few can be truly considered 'films') are captivating to some and heinous crimes comitted against the artform to others, and both camps are probably correct. His work in the late 60's was nothing more than interesting (to some) experiments at creating a feel and vibe of gothic imagery that is primarily devoid of narrative or plot. In the 70's, he started to hit a stride with a growing
| | 4.0 out of 5 stars Sound and Image! | 2010-05-23
Jean Rollin is , perhaps , the quintessential cult director of recent times. Infamous for Horror/Gore exploitation and a master in his field he tries with 'The Escapees' something infinitely more weighty.It is not what the characters say it is what they don't say that is key in this film. An opening sequence with little or no dialogue that sets an eerie raw edge that relies on sounds and image to entice and intrigue the viewer. It captures the dirty beauty of France and it's
| | 2.0 out of 5 stars Escaped Plot | 2010-02-22
'The Escapees' is presumably ahead of its time in exploring the underworld of exotic dancers and subversive vaudeville. However, the behaviour of the two leads who plan to escape from a mental (?) institution by way of a disused ice rink and smuggling aboard a freight ship is rather absurd - as is the shoot-out at the end and the policeman's observation that they are only children. Worth a look, but a bit of an oddity.
| | Enter the surreal... | 2009-09-12
French director Jean Rollin has garnered a cult following for his 1970s output of softcore vampire and "living dead" films. Generally shot with the crumbling ruins of European cemeteries and castles as his backdrops, all of his films evoke a wonderful otherworldly feel for an American audience. The frequent focus on lovely lesbians (generally with fangs) doesn't hurt the visual allure of his films either. THE ESCAPEES is one of his later films, and also one of his least seen.
| | 5.0 out of 5 stars Jean Rollin at his best! | 2009-07-14
Simply: This film is a Jean Rollin horror masterpiece! Nobody can build unexplainable strange atmosphere like Jean Rollin. Watch it! 4½/5
| | 5.0 out of 5 stars A hidden gem! | 2008-11-20
Jean Rollin's very rare film, known in France as Les Paumees du Petit Matin, is a must see for any Rollin fan! As a huge cult-horror fan I'm very excited that it's finally getting a release over here. Akin to 'Living Dead Girl' and 'The Night of the Hunted' and brimming with sensationalism, surrealism and seduction, as two beautiful young girls make an escape. An example of Rollin's vision for erotic poetry and a hidden gem for any fan of cult horror!!

What is Trustami

Trustami regularly scans the internet for new reviews and collect them in one place, in order to make them available to interested parties at a glance.

We want to make it as easy as possible for every internet user to look up products. Instead of relying on just one source, we provide a single point of contact to get easily all the reviews on a product.

Trustami does not generate new reviews and stays independent in order to make the internet more transparent. We automatically search on popular internet platforms and websites to find reviews and identify products. Our claim here is to provide a helpful set of product information that anyone can rely on.

Trustami was created as a project of the Technical University of Berlin (TUB) with the aim of making the internet more trustworthy. Research in the field of "Social Media Analytics & Big Data" at the Chair of Information and Communication Management (IKM) provided a first prototype that enabled the collection of reputation data. With further development and funding Trustami became an independent spin-off.
