SYNOPSIS
There’s something strange going on at Deadlock House, a secluded French retirement home locked behind a tall iron fence. The residents are gentle, elderly, and strictly vegetarian, but employees are disappearing and the whole place seems a bit odd. The house director plays the same creepy tune on the piano over and over again, and one man, in particular, seems overly violent and aggressive. Unfortunately for Martine (Isabelle Goguey), the new staff nurse, she’s about to discover the horrifying secret of Deadlock House… a secret so evil, she may not live to see the dawn. As night falls, something evil walks the hallways. Something with a taste for blood… and human flesh! Raphaël Delpard directs THE NIGHT OF DEATH! (Original Title: La Nuit de la mort!), a hallucinatory, low-budget descendant of the era’s cannibal-horror wave that’s become, in the decades since its release, a genuine cult object of French horror.
