Director
The Italian horror was practically invented by Riccardo Freda in 1956 (I vampiri), but the real birth year should be placed in 1960, when Mario Bava directed La maschera del demonio and established the canons and themes of a genre that, amidst the hostility of the national critics and the enthusiasm of the foreign ones, developed parallel to similar European experiences (the gothics of Hammer) and American ones (Poe adaptations by Roger Corman), finding in Bava, Freda, and Antonio Margheriti three excellent auteur-craftsmen, and in Barbara Steele an actress of unusual and unmistakable charm.

In any case, in this "The Horrible Secret of Dr. Hitchcock," Freda signs a beautiful film, beautifully shot, and reminiscent of the typical cinema of Mario Bava, thanks also to the cinematography and the intense colors. Discover the review
