Synopsis:: Show moreShow less
"The Night of Death!" is an underrated Gallic gorefest with bags of atmosphere and a wicked sense of humour. It's 1980 and, having been unemployed for eight months, Martine (Isabelle Goguey) jumps at the chance when offered a job in an isolated old people's home. Her 50-something employer, Helene 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 she's fallen on her feet. Then come the mysteries.
What became of Martine's 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 Helene dated 1886? And what role does the so-called Golden Needle Killer play in all of this? Dare you venture into Helene's chamber of horrors and witness the rituals that take place there?
