7, Hyden Park. La Casa Maledetta (1985)

7, Hyden Park. La Casa Maledetta (1985, ITA) C-89m. **½ D: Martin Herbert (=Alberto De Martino). Starring David Warbeck, Carroll Blumenberg, Christina Nagy, Rossano Brazzi, Andrea Bosic. Director De Martino's last film is a direct descendant of the giallo, about paralyzed woman Blumenberg, who falls in love with her therapist Warbeck but must contend with haunting memories of a priest who raped her as a little child. Now the nightmare seems to return… is someone trying to drive her mad? Intriguing (if somewhat familiar) mystery thriller is too sloppily made, although the attack scenes are not bad. Fans of Italian thrillers should give this one a look. English title: FORMULA FOR A MURDER.
