The Third Eye (1966)


Medusa Distribuzione (Italy)
Directed by Mino Guerrini
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia

A young Franco Nero plays a count living with his domineering mother in a remote country mansion. His plans to marry are thwarted by a jealous maid, who cuts his fiance's brakes and causes a fatal accident. Nero happens to be following in another car, and after witnessing the accident takes the corpse back home and puts his taxidermy skills to good use! After awhile, he starts bringing home prostitutes, then strangles them when they freak out over the corpse in bed with them! Later, his dead fiance's twin sister shows up looking for the body, sending poor old Franco over the edge. Highly derivative of Hitchcock's Psycho and delves perhaps too explicitly into aberrations better, and more effectively, left unseen.
