Full Plot Details

Det. Dave Kennedy is investigating a series of young, attractive women committing various forms of disfiguring self-mutilation, in each case the victim stating that she entered into the activity thinking she was doing something else perfectly normal, only to become aware of reality when the pain of the mutilation woke her out of whatever she was otherwise thinking. The case becomes more urgent as the latest victim, the eleventh, died from her injuries. The case turns personal with the twelfth victim, Dodie Wilson, being a friend of his. Dave's girlfriend, Marcia Blaine, believes that what happened to Dodie and the other victims has something to do with Desmond, a hypnotist, the three of them having attended his stage show just prior to what happened to Dodie. Marcia's belief is due to Dodie being brought on stage and featured, under hypnosis, in the final segment of the show. While Dave does believe that people can be hypnotized, he is less than convinced about Marcia's belief as he doesn't think what Desmond does is true hypnotism in the speed that everything happens in the show. Dave's colleague, police psychologist Phil Hecht, tries to convince him otherwise, he further having the view that such hypnosis especially dangerous when cloaked in the form of entertainment. Regardless, Marcia decides to do her own investigation on Desmond against Dave's wants, she playing a dangerous game if she is indeed correct about Desmond's involvement no matter the motive.

Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzAn unattractive whacky "gimmick" horror movie aping the William Castle tradition.
Mark Leeper's Reviews - 4/10 by Mark R. LeeperThe film gets its thrill (if that is the word) from cinematic misogyny and sadism.
User Review - 10/10 by Sean DI originally saw this movie as a 9 year old. It left such an impression on me that I had to see it again as an adult I finally did so at the age of 62. While "cheesy"by today's standards and seeing police unable to think to ask surviving victims questions leading to what common denominators they might have, I still thought it was a good flick.
User Review - 6/10 by Steve CWell done cheesy hypno mind control horror B-movie. The whole thing starts out with a memorable gas stove burner POV shot as a hypno victim washes her hair at the stove with disastrous results. Jacques Bergerac is rather good as a accented French swave stage hypnotist with a ghastly off stage agenda. He uses a hypno handheld device. It's a flashy light strobish one, not the spiral one as I had remembered from the first time I saw this movie. His victims are all attractive women. He has a ruthless assistant played by Allison Hayes who also played the 50 foot Woman, but is normal sized in this although just as sick mean, like, "Who's the fairest of them all?" Except she is very unfair. Anyway, some nondescript handsome guy plays the cop trying to solve the mysterious self mutations of these women, and his girlfriend gets involved. He is assisted by a shrink who gives us a stern warning about messing around with hypnotism at the very end. One scene has beatniks at a coffee house jazz beat poetry reading. The poem is about the poet's movie going life. Maynard G. Krebs was a much more convincing beatnik. The production is assisted by a very good musical soundtrack by Marlin Skiles. There is a pretty funny scene toward the end when Jacques Bergerac makes the whole theater audience do goofy stuff from the stage. Maybe they thought they would actually get people in movie screenings doing this stuff, but this was probably mostly a drive-in movie. Either way it provides a sort of comic relief and bring the plot movement to a halt for what seems longer than it is. The thing reaches theatrical heights with its gripping ending, literally!
User Review - 6/10 by Donna LThe city is stricken by a wave of self-mutilations performed by beautiful women who seem to be in a hypnotic trance. The authorities suspect a stage hypnotist with a popular act, but the stakes are raised when the hypnotist sets his sights on the girlfriend of the detective investigating the case. What is the hypnotist's secret, and why does it seem to involve his beautiful assistant? - Written by acidxian
User Review - 4/10 by Dave JMonday, October 21, 2013 (1960) The Hypnotic Eye HORROR SUSPENSE Low budget black and white movie from 1960's about beautiful looking young ladies harm their faces leaving the hypnotist being the prime suspect duh with a twist which is too little too late. Very outdated chiller which viewers probably know more than the movie does. 2 out of 4 stars
