A video essay on the film, THE THIRD EYE (1966), where author and filmmaker Lindsay Hallam examines the film’s psychological and Gothic dimensions—especially its patterns of jealousy, obsession, eroticism, death, and preservation. The essay considers how the movie’s visual style extends melodramatic and Italian Gothic conventions, rather than simply recounting the plot. [Included on the Arrow Video "Gothic Fantastico: Four Italian Tales of Terror" Blu-ray box set.]
