Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll (1974)
This brand-new addition to Shudder’s library, written by and starring Spanish horror legend Paul Naschy, was caught up in the UK’s “video nasty” banning frenzy—a distinction that’s now a badge of honor among cult films. (Before any purists complain: that Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll is Spanish, rather than Italian, makes it almost giallo-adjacent, but we’re including it here because it mostly fits.) B-movies of this era tended to have multiple titles, and this one’s got some tantalizing alternates, including The House of Psychotic Woman and House of Doom. But the title it’s best-known for evokes the plot quite nicely, which sets its black-gloved killer (a giallo trademark) loose in a French village that’s home to a trio of weird, bickering sisters—and where no woman with blue eyes is safe from having them viciously gouged out. Watch on Shudder.
