The Third Eye

A young Franco Nero stars in Mino Guerrini's The Third Eye as a wealthy count that lives with his overbearing and extremely jealous mother. The count heads down a spiral of madness after his fiancée dies in an accident that may be not be an accident at all. The Third Eye is particularly notable for initially being rejected by Italian censors. The film's rejection notice claimed it was "contrary to the public moral," citing "scenes of almost full female nudity and excessively graphic intercourses" and "episodes of necrophilia, close-ups of horrific scenes with blood and brutal violence."
