In the Nineteenth Century, in London, Prof. Bernard Hichcock (Robert Flemyng) is married with Margaretha Hichcock (Teresa Fitzgerald) and they live in a house with their maid Martha (Harriet Medin). Out of the blue, Margaretha dies and Dr. Hichcock leaves his house with Martha and travels. Years later, he returns to London remarried with the young Cinzia Hichcock (Barbara Steele) and meets Martha in the house. But soon Cinzia sees and hears strange things and feels uncomfortable at home. When Dr. Hichcock gives a glass of milk to Cinzia, she throws it off but keeps a sample in the glass. Then she asks her friend Dr. Kurt Lowe (Montgomery Glenn) to analyze the milk, and he learns that there is a high quantity of poison. What will Cinzia and Dr. Lowe do?
"L'orribile segreto del Dr. Hichcock" is a cult horror movie with wonderful cinematography and atmosphere. Barbara Steele is very beautiful and Robert Flemyng and Harriet Medin are creepy. The screenplay is confused and the viewer needs to read about the story to fully understand the plot. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "O Horrível Segredo do Dr. Hichcock" ("The Awful Secret of Dr. Hichcock")
