Here’s another one that involves eyeball mutilation—a favorite giallo motif. Is that because it’s a way to reflect back on the viewer’s own decision to watch such naughty films… or because plucking out someone’s eyes is just memorably gross? Whatever the case, Crazy Desires of a Murderer gives us a rich girl just back from a lengthy trip, who decides to keep the party going by inviting her vacuous friends over to her family’s castle. A castle with, naturally, a dark past… and multiple weirdos, including a leering younger brother (another favorite giallo motif) and a deranged killer, stalking the halls. Watch on Shudder.
