(1966) Williams Berger, Barbara Wilson, Mary Young, Françoise Prévost, Massimo Righi, Harriet White, Delfi Mauro. This is another fine Italian horror thriller, obviously inspired by The Horrible Dr. Hichcock, maybe even The Corpse Vanishes. Berger plays Dr. Vance, a strange physician who owns a clinic for the mentally ill, located in the wilds of a gloomy forest. He’s surrounded by a bevy of gorgeous women, all of whom he has the eyes for. Unfortunately, there’s also a hooded killer on the grounds, slashing people to death with a straight razor. There’s also a grotesque, club-footed woman living on the upper floor, whom the doctor is trying to cure of a monstrously ugly face. Harriet White once again plays a sinister maid. This film is lots of fun and really keeps you guessing who the mad killer is, right up to the very end. Great color, widescreen, 35mm.
