Mansion of the Doomed - 1976

 Also known as The Terror of Dr. Chaney; also known as Massacre Mansion, Eyes, Eyes of Dr. Chaney and House of Blood.  From Wikipedia:  While not prosecuted for obscenity, the film was seized and confiscated in the U.K. under Section 3 of the Obscene Publications Act 1959 during the video nasty panic.

I did not do this on purpose.  What I did was try to find a random movie from 1976 to watch, as I scrolled back through this blog and stumbled upon my goal to watch 76 movies from 1976.  I forgot about it, and no, that is not my next goal.  But crazy huh?  That I accidentally watched another Nasty?

Mansion of the Doomed stars Gypsy's love Richard Baseheart.  Richard is a doctor who has a daughter who has lost her eyes and is now sad and defeated.  He does what any good dad would do, he begins to rip out other peoples eyes to try to restore hers, except it keeps not working.  But he doesn't give up that easy!

They came after this movie?  Yo, this would basically be PG-13 now.  It has some eye gouging and it has some makeup effects to depict people with ripped out eyes.  That's it.  Its very tame.

Long, talky, with okay effects, and nothing else worth noting.  You might forget what happened in the first 20 minutes when you're only at minute 25.  Welcome to the Machine by Pink Floyd was in this??  I must've missed it.  For mostly that fact I guess I'll give this 2 stars.
