Hypno Magic
This is an unusual film, a little different from what we usually see in this genre. There has been several incidents where beautiful young girls have disfigured themselves for no apparent reason. One washed her hair in acid believing it to be soap, another pushed her face into the rotating blades a fan etc. When a detective visits a stage hypnotist and one of his female friends gets up as a volunteer he gets a clue as to what is going on...but why?
The cover of this DVD, which seems to be a representation of the original poster for the movie, boasts that it introduces something called Hypno Magic. We are not told what this is but I'm suspecting that it is simply very close shots of the hypnotic eye which flickers rapidly. a word of caution here, if you look at this too closely you'll end up getting hypnotised yourself - and don't look at it at all if you are subject to epileptic fits! It really messes with your eyes.
This is one of the Warner Bros. "Archive...
Great film, Not well known.
Congrats to Warner Bros. for this excellently remastered film!!.
Picture quality,crystal clear,sharp!.I wish all b&w movies looked as good as this.
I've seen this movie once,never in it's entirety and I was a very young child.I only remembered the ending it never left my mind...
It was well paced,it never felt long or drawn out as many older films do(I just bought this on Amazon and viewed it last week)So I'm going by VERY RECENT recall,at this point of my review lol.
Great storyline,even for this century.Handsome Jacques Bergerac stars as Desmond, a
beguiling and sinister hypnotist.Miss America contestant(1949) Allison "Attack of the 50ft Woman"also stars as assistant/girlfriend Justine.
Well acted parts also from the overall cast in this rarity of a film the beatnik scene was interesting as well,(persons who like shows like 'Mad Men' might enjoy this as a contrast as to how people less stylish or conservative dressed in the very early 60's.)I love...
Good movie
This is a good movie. It was as I remember it when I first saw it. The transfer was good. Packing and shipping were good also.
