The
Hypnotic Eye
The
stage hypnotist’s act is demonstrated by and with the theater audience as
a series of object lessons, ends do not meet, all are bound, salutes and
knee-slapping, the leaden balloon...
A
masterpiece from William Read Woodfield on the mysterious
self-mutilation of beautiful women after each show, one in the emergency room is heard repeating the name of Desmond’s lovely and
talented stage assistant...
TV Guide, “a cult horror classic.”
According
to Cavett Binton (Rovi), “mundane psycho-thriller... thoroughly disarms
any potential for suspense.”
Leonard Maltin, “partially successful chiller”.

infected. He is shot drawing on Adam, the ranchers are bidden to the sulfur
bath with their herds.
