    Abyss of madness, rage and terror for Margarethe! She misses her husband, a cynic,killer,atheist Doc Hitchcock, she missed her fuckin',dog-murderer lover, she lost her money,body and mynd!! A superior scene is the furious killing using a razor ...it works great, i was quite jelo...( read more)us of that asshole..mmm...yeahhh!
    Usa dvd isn't good, has bad colors and ruined footages. It's better than my shit video tape from italian Tv anyway.

    Set in Scotland in the early 1900's, this very welcome sort-of-sequel to THE HORRIBLE DR. HICHCOCK (1962) concerns the sickly, wheelchair-bound Dr. John Hichcock (Elio Jotta), whose death is hurried along by his beautiful younger wife Margaret (Barbara Steele) and her handsome do...( read more)ctor/lover (Peter Baldwin), in whose care Dr. H has unwisely entrusted. They poison him and then can't seem to find the fortune that should have been stashed in his safe. While they search the grounds, under the watchful eye of the loyal housekeeper (Harriet White Medin), hubby's ghost seemingly returns to settle the score, driving the two of them to paranoia, madness and murder.

    The routine storyline is given a boost by solid direction, atmospheric photography and, especially, a good cast. Though the dubbing is a bit sketchy at times, this is a must for Barbara Steele fans. She's impressively evil in her role and gets a lot of screen time. The twist ending is great and is worth waiting for, as well.
