The last ten mins, the final scene n the beautiful Isabelle Goguey's assets saves this film.

I saw this for the first time recently. The film is about a pretty young nurse who moves into an old age home in the country side. The film moves at a slow pace n then suddenly it takes a bizarre turn with a gruesome murder. The last ten mins with lots of mayhem n the final scene makes up for the flaws. We also get to see the beautiful Isabelle Goguey's boobs for a quick shot. Found her beautiful n her assets very natural.

A vacancy at Blackmoor Castle? No thanks... I think I'll pass.

A word of advice to pretty women seeking employment at a remote stately home: if the property has an ominous name like Grimstock Towers or Mortlake Manor or Darkcliff Hall, then give it a wide berth. Something terrible WILL happen to you. Take Deadlock House for example, the setting for French horror Night of Death: attractive redhead Martine (Isabelle Goguey) goes there to work as a nurse, tending to the needs of a group of kooky old people. What she doesn't realise is that the pensioners are much older than she thinks, having halted the ageing process by devouring the innards of the young women hired to look after them.Martine becomes suspicious when fellow nurse Nicole (Charlotte de Turckheim) suddenly disappears, supposedly having been fired for misconduct. After spying Nicole's suitcase in the boiler room, the missing girl's belongings about to be burnt, Martine goes looking for further evidence to support her belief that something bad has happened to her co-worker. Naturally, this course of action puts Martine in deadly peril.The plot for Night of Death is predictable horror hokum that rarely surprises, but a likeable central turn from Goguey, a creepy soundtrack (crashing piano chords and screeching violins, accompanied by haunting vocals), and plenty of quirkiness (check out the bizarre procession of the old people down the hallway, their strange appearance at Martine's window while she is changing) all go to make this an atmospheric treat for fans of obscure oddball Euro-horror.Also adding to the fun are a couple of very messy gore scenes (the disembowelment of Nicole is particularly grisly), a smattering of nudity (de Turckheim is stripped naked and the ample Goguey briefly bares her blouse bunnies), and a neat twist ending in which we discover the identity of the Golden Needle Killer, the murderer who has been preying on local women.7.5/10, rounded up to 8 for IMDb. A ghoulish, gory Gallic gem.
