Giallogy: Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll

A rare Spanish entry in the giallo genre, Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll (1973) begins with a drifter ex-con finding work at the remote mountain estate of three very different, yet equally eccentric sisters.

Gialli offer an intoxicating blend of glamorous women, gorgeous Italian (or other gorgeous European) locales, … Continue reading Giallogy: The Psychic →
