BLOODY PSYCHO (1989) is another late-stage Italian horror movie made for television and with little to recommend it. The protagonist is a doctor who comes to stay with a disabled lady at her familial castle in order to practise some alternative therapy in the form of laying-on-of-hands treatment. While there he is tormented by the usual nightmarish visions and ghoulish apparitions.
Strangely this reminded me a lot of the Pete Walker film I saw at the weekend, THE COMEBACK, but it's not in the same class. The budget is low and the acting typically bad by late '80s standards. The real-life locations are okay and there's some gruesomeness in the form of a rotting corpse which keeps popping up to menace our hero, but it's all quite lacklustre. A lot of those Italian gothics from the 1960s had people prowling around cobwebby castles too, but the difference is that they were loaded with atmosphere while this isn't.
