Original release - 1980
"One of Jean Rollin’s least-seen and most underrated works, The Night of the Hunted (La Nuit des traquées) finds the director moving away from his trademark tales of vampirism to explore a nightmarish, dystopian worId.
In the dead of night, Elisabeth is rescued from unknown pursuers by Robert and taken to safety. But, after she is kidnapped and taken to an austere clinic whose distressed and abused patients are suffering from progressive memory Ioss, Robert sets out to find her and discover what is taking place in the cIinic.
Shot at night on a shoestring budget, with a cast mostIy drawn from France’s aduIt-fiIm industry, The Night of the Hunted stars RoIIin reguIars Brigitte Lahaie (Fascination) and Natalie Perrey (Lips of BIood), and offers a stark and meIanchoIic take on contemporary society."
