Films like The Horrible Dr. Hichcock.

The Horrible Dr. Hichcock (1962) reads as Heavy, steady, measured horror / gothic, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
