Verdict on Eight Eyes
Eight Eyes is a horror thriller following a young couple that finds themselves taken into a deeper side of former Yugoslavia. However, they find themselves going through a disturbing series of events when it comes to meeting the locals.
This movie takes us down a disturbing road, as we find ourselves taken on a journey unlike anything we have seen before. It could have easily gone down a certain road we have seen before but plays everything out into a much more surreal journey. This is a unique journey, despite being set in the present day, the look of the movie makes us feel like we are in a 70s-style movie.
Final Thoughts –Eight Eyes is an odd, but stylish nightmare journey.
