WARNING!! Do Not Try These "Specialized" Beauty Treatments At Home! (1) A sulphuric acid facial. (And/Or) (2) A flammable shampoo while standing over a lit gas burner.
Believe me - The overall effects could be devastating!
The reason why I say "specialized" beauty treatments here, is that these particular treatments, believe it or not, are especially designed to ruin beauty, rather than enhance it - Which is the very reason why these sorts of treatments are being so sadistically administered in The Hypnotic Eye (a somewhat sleazy, but often amusing Horror/Thriller from 1960).
As the story goes - Something (or someone?) very sick and twisted is driving beautiful, young women into grotesque acts of self-mutilation. Careful police investigation inevitably leads handsome Detective, Steve Kennedy, to a debonair stage hypnotist named Desmond and his glamorous assistant, Justine, who harbours a deep and, yes, very deadly secret.
In a nutshell - The Hypnotic Eye is nerve-frying, unintentionally humorous, Horror, played out alongside a beatnik culture, that's combined, and then neatly mixed in with a predictable "women-in-peril" storyline.
