PRODUCT INFORMATION
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, Hélène 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 Hélène 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 Raphaël 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 Hélène’s chamber of horrors and witness the rituals that take place there?

Shipping
No, we only ship inside the US
Most orders for in-stock items take less than 24 hours to ship (may take longer if you place an order over the weekend). Pre-orders are shipped as soon as the product arrives. International pre-orders may not come in before the street date. This is especially true with Australian pre-orders.
We only use USPS for all shipments. If there is an issue after your order ships you will need to contact your local post office.
Product
All items that come with a slipcover will say so in the product page.
Pre-orders will not say WITH SLIPCOVER until the product comes in.
Slipcovers are not guaranteed to be in mint condition.
If you can order it, it's either in stock or a pre-order. If an item is out of stock you will not be able to add it to your cart. It's rare but our inventory may not be correct. So in some cases an item may have to be shipped separately.
Other
We do not sell bootlegs. All product arrives from the distributor or is directly from the filmmakers. All items are new and sealed. Some indie titles or signed editions may not have shrinkwrap.
