The Night Of The Hunted Limited Edition Blu-Ray

Original edition - 1980

"In one of Jean Rollin's least seen and most underrated works, The Night of the Hunted (La Nuit des traquées), the director moves away from his characteristic tales of vampirism to explore a nightmarish, dystopian world.In the middle of the night, Elisabeth is rescued by Robert from unknown pursuers and taken to safety. But after she is kidnapped and taken to a strict clinic where the scarred and abused patients suffer from progressive memory loss, Robert sets out to find her and discover what is happening at the clinic.

The Night of the Hunted was filmed at night on a small budget, with a cast that mostly comes from France's adult film industry, and with Rollin regulars Brigitte Lahaie (Fascination) and Natalie Perrey (Lips of Blood), the film offers a powerful and melancholic view of modern society."
