Synopsis
The Night of the Hunted (La Nuit des traquées, 1980) is a French horror-thriller you can watch online on iFILM. It comes from Jean Rollin, a cult name in European genre cinema, with Brigitte Lahaie in the lead.
On an empty road at night, a man named Robert picks up a terrified young woman. She knows only her name, Elisabeth, and nothing more — her memory dissolves in front of her, sometimes within minutes. Before long it turns out that people like her are kept in a cold high-rise clinic, where patients forget the number of their own room the moment they step outside it. After dark the quiet inmates lose what little is left of their minds, and the real horror begins. Elisabeth and a fellow prisoner decide to run.
Rollin built an almost plotless nightmare about the erasure of the self: bare corridors, neon chill, barely a word of explanation. Don't expect jump scares — this is slow, melancholy, dreamlike dread, and it will land best with fans of arthouse European horror and of the director himself.
