    Masterful Tension Building and Strong Characters

    Eight Eyes takes you on a wonderful trip of tension building and release cycles. 16mm film, in camera effects, and the eastern European setting mesh well to create a cohesive art direction for this memorable film.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the restrained use of gore. What was there was effective, but never so much or so often as to become desensitizing or tiresome.

    The acting was fantastic (especially female lead and the main antagonist) with a solid script. It also includes an interesting story/thematic twist on the genre. So, while the film nailed the genre(s) it was going for, it was also unique and memorable. Definitely worth a watch for anyone into indie or throwback/analog horror.

    Eight Eyes: Exploring 70s Techniques

    Austin Jennings creates a darkly romantic portrait of Serbian family dysfunction. It explores a couple's (Cass and Gav) travels while filming footage with vintage equipment.

    The story follows them until meeting a stranger, Saint Peter. Then like with many cinematic tropes of the American tourists in a foreign country, things go array.

    It's slow moving but if you are a film technie, this film is for you. The director explores Italian filmmaking, 70s Giallo and horror genres by using practical effects with a selection of cameras. Although Jennings really tried to produce something new, rather than mimicking.

    The acting by Emily Sweet as Cass, the woman in peril, holds the storytelling with the performance of Bruno Veljanovski as Saint Peter. Location shots are well photographed and as well as interior shots of trains, apartments, etc.

    🔮 A Twisted Balkan Adventure: When Vacation Meets the Occult

    If you're in the mood for a bizarre and twisted journey that blends the mundane with the otherworldly, 'Eight Eyes' might be the cinematic trip you didn't know you needed. Directed by Austin Jennings, this 2023 film takes a couple's strained relationship and hurls it into the realm of the surreal, leaving viewers both intrigued and bewildered.

    As the film opens, we're introduced to Cass and Gav, a couple whose relationship is hanging by a thread. Their decision to travel through Serbia seems like a last-ditch effort to salvage their love, but little do they know, they're about to stumble into a web of strangeness spun by the enigmatic Saint Peter. The initial setup is intriguing; a troubled couple, a mysterious local, and the exotic backdrop of the Balkans create a perfect storm of tension and intrigue.

    Jennings masterfully crafts an atmosphere of unease as the trio embarks on their impromptu adventure. The Serbian landscapes, with their rugged beauty, become a character in their own right, adding an eerie sense of isolation. The film excels at building a sense of foreboding, with Saint Peter's eccentric behavior and cryptic references to psychic abilities leaving the audience as uncertain as Cass and Gav about what lies ahead.

    As the story unfolds, 'Eight Eyes' takes a sharp turn into the realm of the occult, blurring the lines between reality and hallucination. The rituals and supernatural elements introduced are both captivating and disorienting, making it challenging for viewers to discern what's real. This descent into the surreal is both the film's strength and weakness. While it provides an intriguing twist, it also risks losing viewers who prefer a more grounded narrative. The film's exploration of the human psyche and the potential for self-deception is fascinating, but it may leave some viewers feeling like they're being led down a rabbit hole of confusion.

    The performances are commendable, with the actors successfully conveying the growing unease and desperation within their characters. As the story progresses, the dynamics between the trio become increasingly complex, adding layers to the narrative. However, the script's reliance on cryptic dialogue and vague motivations might leave some viewers frustrated, wishing for more clarity amidst the chaos.

    'Eight Eyes' is undoubtedly a bold and daring cinematic endeavor. It offers a unique blend of psychological thriller and occult horror, but it may not be everyone's cup of tea. The film's exploration of the unknown and the human mind is both its allure and its downfall, as it can be simultaneously fascinating and frustrating.

    Whiskey Tango Actual Foxtrot did I just watch?

    Caught this tonight on Shudder and really liked it even though I didn't understand the ending, which I will not.spoil for you. It doesn't reach the level of gruesome horror of A Serbian Film or Life and Death of a Porno Gang, but it's in that neighborhood. There's a sense of menace early on and you'll think you know where that ominous feeling Is coming from, but you'll be wrong. The tension is unrelenting and the characters and situations are interesting. The films atmosphere reminded me a little of Hostel but the plots of the two movies are very different, of course. It kept me guessing what was going on. But the ending was so crazy all I could do was shake my damn head and say Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!

    Eight stars for Eight Eyes

    Part Hostel, part Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and part bizarre neon horror.

    Eight Eyes might not quite fully come together in the end, and might be an offender of style over substance. But dang, it was still a pretty cool movie.

    It looks fantastic, the acting is pretty good, and it doesn't come off as amateur hour, even though I am sure the budget was low. The special effects are great, and while it is a slow burn, I was pretty locked in and engaged. So, it does enough right for me to still give it a full throated recommend and an 8 star rating for Eight Eyes.

    Definitely my kind of thing, and I have a feeling this will appeal to fans of the genre.
