Editorial Review:
Description:
Stylish, futuristically surreal and a departure from director Jean Rollin's familiar vampire territory, "The Night of the Hunted" features a mass of people suffering with insanity and collective amnesia. Bizarre, even by Rollin's standards, it still displays fairy tale qualities mixed with extremes of sadism, sex and violence. Restored from the original negative.
Amazon.com:
Euro-horror cult director Jean Rollin dives into science fiction with an ultra-low-budget picture that resembles nothing less than Sam Fuller's Shock Corridor by way of David Cronenberg. Though it starts out in classic horror fantasy fashion, with a beautiful young woman (Rollin regular Brigitte Lahaie) in a flimsy nightgown rushing breathlessly though a dark forest, the imagery quickly changes tone when she is returned to the mysterious, antiseptic skyscraper asylum known as "Black Tower." Blank-eyed inmates with dissipated memories wander through the featureless white hallways and empty rooms, helpfully making up stories for one another to stand in for their lost pasts. Like in most of Rollin's films, the story is more fascinating before the exposition and explanations, when the ambiguous conspiracies and the stark landscapes create an unsettling, alienated world out of time and place. The wooden acting is transformed into an asset, a dazed cast of shuffling living zombies somewhere between shock and stupor slowly losing their minds. In true Rollin fashion, he takes time out for gratuitous sex scenes and nudity and weaves a disconnected series of gory murders into a story that never really makes sense in the first place, but the ethereal, poetic imagery creates an enigmatic psychodrama more concerned with mood and texture than narrative. The new Redemption release restores two scenes cut by the producers for its theatrical release. The DVD features the theatrical trailer and a gallery of production stills. --Sean Axmaker

Night of the Hunted is a beautiful and gory film that make Jean Rollin's vampire films more interesting. Night of the Hunted is an adult horror film that features extreme gore, gratuitous sex and nudity, and beautiful shots. This is a must see for any Jean Rollin fan.

At first, "The Night of The Hunted" seems to be nothing more than an excuse for a lot of skin and sex scenes; however, the film progresses to be truly eerie and unsettling in some instances, with a rather bittersweet, plaintative, and thoughtful ending.
As usual, there is prototypical cast of Rollin characters, with the talented Lahaie playing the protagonist very well. My only complaint is the inclusion of the female "patient" who becomes too quickly attached to Lahaie, as these ... Read More

Night of the Hunted (Jean Rollin,1980)
So I've had my first Jean Rollin experience. I have been told by a number of people that it's nowhere near his best film. I hope not, but I have to say, I didn't hate it that much; there's just not much to wrap one's head around here, so it comes out more like gory softcore than horror, thriller, or mystery. Rollin did, however, get the softcore aspect of it right.

Set in the near future and taking place in an eerily desolate Paris, Night of the Hunted centers on Elisabeth (hauntingly played by Brigitte Lahaie), a young woman who is suffering from a bizarre form of amnesia; she can only remember the present and once an experience ends, it leaves her mind as well. As she herself explains it early on, Elisabeth is doomed to live eternally in the moment. However, she is not alone in her affliction. She lives in a "Black Tower" with several others also cursed ...
