(1980) The Night Of The Hunted/ La nuit des traquées
(In French with English subtitles)
ADULT HORROR/ SOCIAL COMMENTARY
Written and directed by Jean Rollin that has a woman wearing her sleeping clothes, is seen wandering along the highway. Her expressions are a total blank but a young man comes to pick her up and finds that she has a poor memory who has a knack to forget what ordinary people would remember, such as, where and who she was. We then find that people were following her after she got into the car too, as they wait for him to go to work. These two people would then come to pick her up, as they know more than viewers do. Not so much a horror film as much as a social commentary film about alienation, particularly from the government where theirs a point A and a point B. There are a few scenes of gore but the real horror is the thought about how people of higher authority treat the unfortunate. And perhaps with a higher budget, this film wouldn't be that bad.
