The Killer Eye

This is one of the worst movies ever.

The plot: A scientist experiments in order to achieve the entrance to the eight dimension (!). As a failure in the experiment, a "volunteer" gets his eye pushed out, and the eye becomes into a giant monster, a very pervert and erotic monster (the reason seems to be "it is confused with its sexuality").

So the movie becomes, in a "killer eye" hunting for naked women, junkies, and energy (God knows what for). If this was supposed to be a "black" movie, or a cult one, it totally fails. Performances are really bad, timing is bad, and the movie is a total waste of time (fortunately, it's only 67 minutes).

The funniest scene, (if it was supposed to be so) is one where this girl says "have you seen an eye... a killer eye?..." So, best if never seen.

Here's another distressingly bad horror/skin flick directed yet again from the prolific and anonymous David DeCoteau (who is hiding under the alias "Richard Chasen" here). David seems to have excellent connections to video chain distributors and late-night cable outlets because his films are much easier to find than your average low-budget flicks. This is not necessarily a good thing.

THE KILLER EYE does offer a bare bones plot involving a scientist who accidentally summons up a giant mutant eyeball from the "8th dimension." Unfortunately the monster has little to do other than spy on swingin' sex, a girl taking a shower and two supposedly funny, muscle-bound, drugged out numbskulls who lay around in their underwear watching Linnea Quigley's shower scene in CREEPOZOIDS. The gorgeous Jacqueline Lovell (former adult actress Sara St. James) is the scientist's "neglected" girlfriend, who naturally has to seek sexual fulfillment elsewhere. She and a neighboring woman end up having a "close encounter" with the eye monster, that starts zapping people with a green energy beam during the last five minutes to justify the title. Otherwise it should have been called THE HORNY EYE.

So to sum it up, this film has a lame story, the usual assortment of untalented (but attractive) men and women, extreme time padding (slow-mo overdose, repeated shots) and a senseless script that was apparently made up as they went along. Don't bother!

What to say, what to say... The phrase "avoid like the plague" immediately springs to mind. Now don't get me wrong -- I actually LIKE bad movies! "Plan Nine from Outer Space" is a true classic in my book. I've seen "Attack of the Eye Creatures" dozens of times. And movies like "Hell Comes to Frogtown", "Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death" and "A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell" are, to me, what film was created for in the first place. But this? Utter dreck, I'm afraid. Let me put it this way.... After the first 15 minutes or so I gave up trying to watch it and began fast-forwarding in an attempt to skip right to the obligatory "nude bimbo in the shower" scene. And even THAT was a disappointment!

Unfortunately, this is not one of those movies which are so bad that they're actually good. This one is REALLY bad, its main fault being that it is very boring.

Even the voyeuristic 'sex' scenes, which I guess this movie was about in the first place, are boring! In fact, it's not a horror movie, it's just a very bad skin flick with a few supernatural elements thrown in. At least, other movies in the same vein (like 'Dinosaur Island') contain some good humor, which you can't say about this piece of trash.

Three reedeming features, on the other hand: Jacqueline Lovell looks good, and the homosexuality and divorce issue are quite special in this kind of film.

"The Killer Eye", yet another pathetic, amateurish time-waster produced by Full Moon Pictures, easily lands at the bottle of their overflowing barrel of BAD MOVIES. The best way to describe it is "hopeless". Running a scant 67 minutes, it is still padded by at least a half hour.

The "plot" has something to do with experiments in the 8th dimension, which result in a teenager's eyeball expanding into the 5' tall title creature. The oversize Orb spends the rest of the movie's running time scurrying along the heat ducts of an apartment building, searching for energy and a little sex on the side.

Only redeeming feature is the title sequence, which is rather inventive and alluring. Too bad the rest of the movie is junk!
