Directed by Jean Rollin and starring Brigitte Lahaie, The Night of the Hunted follows a young woman suffering from mysterious memory loss who is taken to an isolated clinic where patients gradually lose their identities and connection to reality. Combining psychological horror, surreal atmosphere and exploitation-infused European genre cinema, the film centers on mental deterioration, confinement and paranoia within a cold modern medical environment. The story blends Rollins dreamlike visual style with dystopian and existential horror themes.

One of Jean Rollins 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 world.

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 loss, Robert sets out to find her and discover what is taking place in the clinic.

Shot at night on a shoestring budget, with a cast mostly drawn from Frances adult-film industry, The Night of the Hunted stars Rollin regulars Brigitte Lahaie (Fascination) and Natalie Perrey (Lips of Blood), and offers a stark and melancholic take on contemporary society.
