Run, Psycho, Run

Run, Psycho, Run (1968) opens in early 20th-century Tuscany, where a family tragedy during a summer in their country villa casts a long shadow. A year later, the grieving patriarch invites a strikingly familiar woman to return to the estate—provoking suspicion and silent hostility among his relatives. This giallo-thriller classic blends atmospheric tension, psychological unease, and chilling family intrigue in a tale of grief, deception, and buried secrets.

  Run, Psycho, Run is one of the more obscure gialli of the period. It was filmed in 1965, but sat on the shelf until 1968, when it received marginal distribution and failed to attract any serious attention, despite the presence of some impressive names in the credits. … The story is something of a psychosexual variation on the themes of Daphne Du Maurier’s Rebecca (1938) … Ultimately, Run, Psycho, Run is bound to be more interesting to fans with a taste for art house cinema.
