another great rollin masterpiece
if you're looking for something strange that will hold your attention & keep you glued to the screen until the living end, you just might be ready for night of the hunted. rollin's great masterpiece will leave you shaking your head in disbelief but never fails to amaze & excite. those of you gore hounds who just seek out some blood & guts, you will probably find more with his endeavor living dead girl. there is some blood here but the atmosphere is what will grab you & shake you. in the chilling tradition of eyes wide shut or memento, rollin gives you the full effect of paranoia & loss of memory. the film does make sense contrary to what many have wrote here but you have to view this film carefully & look for the hints. in the end, night of the hunted reveals it's dark secrets & the ending is sure to burn it's way into your thoughts for a long time. although we find no vampires here, it's evident that rollin is a serious director & treats his subject matter here with greatest of care. this film will not appeal to folks who tend to avoid pyschological horror or explicit sex. as with most rollin films, night of the hunted isn't intended for all audiences. the film start out with a young girl in a flimsy gown walking in the woods & then a flash of carlights stops her dead in her tracks. the guy naturally picks the girl up & offers to take her home but she can't remember who she is or where home is. in the next scenes, we see she's been taken back to this mysterious tower by a strange man & woman where it seems everyone has lost their mind or they are in the process of losing their minds. here we find a sad building of people struggling to make sense out of the world they are living in or their confusing lives. to provide comfort or security to one another, they invent stories to take the place of non-existent memories. eventually, our lead character tries to escape again & then things really start to get tangled. great rollin film that has nothing to do with the creatures of the night or the immortals.

Static psychological horror.
This excellent film deviates from Rollin's vampire obsession in favour of a "parnanoid" tale of urban horror. There isn't much action, but the plot is unnerving.

At times, it seems like Rollin is doing a fine imitation of the early Cronenberg (RABID and SHIVERS come to mind).

As with other REDEMPTION DVD's, this lacks any interesting extras. But again, as with all the Rollin films in this series, the print is of the best quality.

A quirky film that should not be missed.

Superdope.
Jean Rollin is one of the most interesting directors alive. The Erotic-horror genre is higly underrated, and needs more attention brought to it. The post-apocalyptic sphere of this movie is undescribable, and the long erotic scenes are downright fantastic. Still, my favourite scene has to be the girl with the scissors in her eyes, and the dude who rapes a girl and then gets beaten over the head with a blunt object. The ending is a knock-out. Only the cool ones will understand. Takk for meg.
