The Night of Death (Region Free)

Its 1980 and, having been unemployed for eight months, Martine (Isabelle Goguey) jumps at the chance when offered a job in an isolated old peoples home. Her 50-something employer, Hlne Robert (Betty Beckers), is a little intimidating, the handyman (Michel Flavius) is rather sinister, and the ageing boarders are an eccentric lot, to put it mildly. But Martine feels shes fallen on her feet.

Then come the mysteries. What became of Martines young predecessor Nicole (Charlotte de Turckheim)? Why are there so few residents, and why do they look so well preserved? What can it mean when Martine finds a press photo of the youthful Hlne dated 1886? And what role does the so-called Golden Needle Killer play in all of this?

With an engaging heroine, world-class villainess, haunting score (Laurent Petitgirard), copious gore effects and an ingenious twist, The Night of Death! ranks high among Euro-horror rediscoveries. Directed by Raphal Delpard, this long-awaited UK Blu-ray premiere has been remastered from original vault elements and is bursting at the seams with bonus features.

Dare you venture into Hlnes chamber of horrors and witness the rituals that take place there?
