Evaluations:
“Positive, there have been some positives, as Udo Kier was prime notch, and there was an important opening scene, however apart from that not a lot. The ambiance is non-existent or compelled, the characters don’t have any depth, there may be nothing unique, and the scripting is unhealthy.” Mark Mihalko, The Ringmaster’s Realm
” …a form of In The Mouth of Insanity Asylum-style – that builds its suspense effectively, is all the time thrilling whereas not resorting to a budget and straightforward scares, and is unquestionably a smarter-than-average-axe-murderer-movie. The movie is refined, restrained and savvy, in script and path.” Dedicated
“Evil Eyes does have some issues going for it by managing to construct an alright eerie temper for the primary half of the movie and really having a script (by Naomi Selfman) that does okay at mixing numerous parts (actuality and desires) collectively; however the movie finally begins to really feel contrived and rancid…” The Video Graveyard
“With out something to know on from the beginning, it’s only a complete mess. And Udo’s not in it practically sufficient to make up for it; if he was in each scene a minimum of it will be a pleasant prepare wreck, however his ten minutes of display screen time aren’t practically sufficient to make up for the practically impenetrable narrative, ugly visuals, and lack of motion…” Horror Film a Day
