\"MansionFollowing in the footsteps of such perfection-minded but misguided medicos as Dr. Genessier in \u201cEyes Without a Face<\/a>\u201d and Jesus Franco’s awful Dr. Orloff<\/a>, surgeon Richard Basehart<\/a> decides that the only way to assuage his guilt over accidentally blinding his daughter (Trish Stewart)<\/a> in a car accident is to drug visitors to his home and passers-by alike, remove their eyes and transplant them into his daughter, despite her increasing protestations. Beefy character actor Michael Pataki <\/a>(\u201cRocky IV\u201d) directed this queasy surgical horror film for veteran low-budget producer Albert Band<\/a> and his then-24-year-son, Charles,<\/a> who would later produce numerous cult favorites in the 1980s, including \u201cRe-Animator<\/a>\u201d and the \u201cGhoulies\u201d franchise, among others, through his Empire and Full Moon imprints. Basehart and noir favorite Gloria Grahame<\/a>, as his long-suffering assistant, lend the production some class and numerous close-ups of eyeless socket makeup (by Stan Winston<\/a>) on Lance Henriksen<\/a> and other victims should keep the cellar dwellers happy, though footage of real eye surgery may put others off their Thanksgiving leftovers. Full Moon\u2019s DVD<\/a> includes the original trailer and spots for other Band library titles, including the “MST3K” favorite \u201cLaserblast\u201d and \u201cThe Day Time Ended.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
