About The Sinister Eyes of Dr. Orloff
Amid the craggy, dusty hills of southern France, a woman screams in the night. Gorgeous Melissa Comfort, a wealthy heiress confined to a wheelchair since birth, cries out in her nightmares, terrified of a dream that comes night after night. In this night terror, she's 10-years-old. Running from a man who may or may not be her father.
Directed by Jesús Franco, The Sinister Eyes of Dr. Orloff leans on a strong ensemble — William Berger, Montserrat Prous, Edmund Purdom — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1973.
