* PunBasedTitle: In two languages. The English title is a pun on ''Literature/TheGrapesOfWrath'', referring to the film's vineyard setting, while the French title sounds similar to "raison de la mort" ("cause of death").

''The Grapes of Death'' (French: ''Les Raisins de la Mort'') is a 1978 French horror film directed by Jean Rollin and starring Marie-Georges Pascal. The plot centers around a young woman named Élizabeth (Pascal) who becomes trapped in a village where a dangerous pesticide has turned the residents into aggressive zombie-like creatures.

!! The Tropes of Death:

* BodyHorror: The first sign of the zombie infection occurs when a vineyard worker feels a sharp pain in his neck, which gradually turns into a huge ulcer that eventually starts oozing blood.
* {{Gorn}}: It's not as bad as some of the contemporary Italian zombie flicks in this regard, but it's still understandably a pretty nasty affair.
* TechnicallyLivingZombie: The vineyard workers are turned into feral pseudo-zombies by farm chemicals, in a similar fashion to those infected by the airborne virus in Creator/GeorgeARomero's ''Film/{{The Crazies|1973}}''.
