Death Rite (French: Les Magiciens) is a 1976 psychological thriller film co-written and directed by Claude Chabrol, and based on the novel Initiation au meurtre by Frédéric Dard.

At a luxury hotel in Djerba, Tunisia, psychic magician Vestar (Fröbe) meets the dark Edouard (Rochefort).

Edouard, a member of the leisure class, decides to use his influence to make the dream become a reality.

Also staying at the resort are Sadry, returning (Nero) who has come home to visit his dying mother, and his annoying wife Sylvia (Sandrelli).

Specific details from Vestar's prediction about her death are used by Edouard to make it happen, although in fact his interference alters the results.
