"The following chapter, "Breach of Consent: Jean Rollin and Le Viol du Vampire", by David Baker, considers the exploitation of women and of male voyeurism through the figure of female vampire. The author articulates the complex ways in which Rollin's 1968 production serves to disrupt the traditional binary logics of an aggressive vampire Other and a human victimised Self, problemarising and bringing to the fore the relationship between hospitality, victimhood, female body, rape and consent."
