Limited edition in Encore's superb "Jean Rollin" series of only 2.000 pcs! La Nuit des Traquées is an exceptional work, even within Jean Rollin's enigmatic oeuvre. The film doesn't feature the director's usual ingredients like vampires and lyrical atmosphere, but has a very realistic and chilling touch. Rollin also manages to include creepy echoes of the Second World War in his utterly compelling and highly melancholic tale of doomed love.

One cold dark night a mysterious blonde girl is seen running around in the woods. It's Elisabeth (Brigitte Lahaie), who has escaped from a high-rise prison, where people are kept who have been contaminated by an environmental accident. Their thoughts, memories and emotions are slowly eaten away by disease, turning them into sad, helpless creatures. A young man (Vincent Carder) has fallen in love with Elisabeth and tries to help her escape. But the clinic's henchmen are ruthless…


It’s saying something when, in a filmography full of odd pictures, Night Of The Hunted stands out as one of the more unusual films that Jean Rollin has made. It’s not quite horror, not quite eroticism and not quite science fiction but it definitely manages to incorporate bits and pieces of those genres, spinning them with a ‘uniquely Rollin’ surrealist angle.

A man named Richard (Vincent Gardere) is driving down a remote and dimly lit road one night when he comes across a beautiful young woman (Brigette Lahaie of numerous XXX movies as well as Rollin classics like Fascination and The Grapes Of Death) dressed in white standing beside a large tree. He stops and once she falls down by the car he picks her up and takes her home so that he can help her. What he doesn’t realize is that there’s another woman, Veronique (Dominique Journet of Zeffirelli’s La Traviata), nearby is obviously traumatized and standing in the woods alone and naked.

Once he has her back at his place, they talk and he finds out that she’s got some serious short term and long term memory issues – she knows that her name is Elysabeth but she can’t remember what happened even minutes ago. Regardless, they are obviously into one another and it doesn’t take long for the two of them to lose their clothes and engage in a very prolonged lovemaking session. Things are looking up for both of them until Richard leaves for work the next morning and, pretty much out of nowhere, Elysabeth is basically forced by a doctor (Bernard Papineau of Claude Chabrol’s This Man Must Die) and his assistant to go back to a strange mental hospital (presumably the one from which she escaped in the first place).

Richard, having fallen for her, decides to follow her in hopes that he can save her and once he’s there he finds that both Elysabeth and Veronique have been brought back as they’re suffering from a sort of degenerative memory loss. Neither Veronique or Elysabeth remember their time in the woods but soon enough they once again team up to try and escape from the hospital, afraid that the doctor in charge will murder them if they stay. If things weren’t complicated enough, there’s a deranged man roaming the hospital killing people (seemingly at random) and various employees and patients are getting it on.

Slow and dreamlike almost to a fault, Night Of The Hunted is a strange film. Characters don’t always act logically and at times the plot seems to be disregarded in favor of atmosphere and the chance for the camera to simply soak up the locations. That being said, if you don’t mind the surrealist aspects or the fact that this time the story comes second, it is rather well done. Lahaie is not only completely gorgeous to look at (and frequently in her birthday suit) but she’s also a solid actress in the traditional sense as well. She does do a very good job of portraying that confusion and fear that her character would likely feel while dealing with what transpires in the picture and she brings a doe-eyed sense of childlike naivety to the role that you probably wouldn’t expect from an adult film actress. Gardere and Journet are also quite decent in their parts; with Journet rivaling Lahaie in terms of just how flat out spacey she looks and acts at times.

With much of the movie taking place in the ‘hospital’ it is interesting that Rollin chose an old office building to stand in. There’s a very impressive sense of gloom hanging over the locale and it works in the movie’s favor, giving the movie a similar tone to the one that Cronenberg managed to elicit from the apartment building where he shot Shivers. It doesn’t take long for the viewer to understand exactly why Elysabeth and Veronique want out of this place, for if it isn’t overtly sinister right off the bat there is a very definite darkness to the building.

While the lack of vampires and the decidedly non-gothic location shooting might make this one less a typical Rollin film than other, better known works like Les Frisson Des Vampires or La Morte Vivante, it is certainly ripe with many of the quirks that make his movies so interesting. The dream like atmosphere, the surrealism, the color schemes and the pacing all conjure up moments from some of his better-known works. The combination of the bits and pieces used to put this movie together might put some people off, for those familiar with the way Rollin makes his movies it’s certainly worth checking out.

Encore continues to impress with their Rollin special edition DVDs and their release of Night Of The Hunted is just as good as you’d expect it to be. The audio and video are quite nice and the extras are both plentiful and interesting and it’s great to see Lahaie’s involvement here as well as the director’s.

Here the actress Catherine Greiner is having sex in two different situations. This material is full on 1970s porn, so take note and clear all the over-sensitive people from the room.
