As the cousins scheme to shift the blame onto the vulnerable Lucille, the true cause of her vegetative state comes into question, hinting at darker family secrets beneath the surface. With its mix of psychological terror, dysfunctional family dynamics, and erotic tension, From Ear to Ear is a sleazy giallo that explores the boundaries of guilt, desire, and trauma.
