IMDb Wikipedia
A doctor at a remote clinic for the insane is performing skin graft experiments in the basement. A new patient arrives and hears strange noises coming from upstairs. Everyone else ignores them, but soon she ventures up and discovers a disfigured woman. Later, she stumbles on the good doctor while he is secretly burying a body. She tries to blackmail him, but it doesn't turn out well. A flashback reveals the origins of the disfigured woman, and the ending ties it all together rather matter-of-factly. While there may be no surprises in this mystery, the Gothic atmosphere more than makes up for it. A period drama set in the 1800s vividly shot in an Italian villa, reminiscent of the Corman Poe cycle made around the same time.
