Anyone have opinions of the film itself?

Just found this review on DVDtalk...

http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/36628/two-evil-eyes/

Never seen the film itself, but plan on getting the DVD.

I wasnt aware of this movie until I stumbled across it on Blue-Underground.com. It looks interesting. I will probably pick it up as a blind buy.

deadhatetheliving · 03-27-2009, 01:54 AM

Really injoyed this movie. Made back when Argento and Romero were still in their prime. Think of it as two short movies like Creepshow or Twilight Zone: The Movie. I will be getting this.

I didn't really like it when I first saw it many years ago. I was excited, Romero, Argento, Poe, what more could you want? But it all just kind of fell flat for me.

Speaking of Creepshow, come on Warner, we need this. The DVDs quality is terrible.

I would warn everyone to be very wary of releases by Blue Underground. I purchased The Stendhal Syndrome, and that BD disc should have never seen the light of day. A total waste of money due to a very problematic issue with video noise (not grain) in the entire movie, worst Blu-ray transfer todate. https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movie...ow=userreviews

The movie has it's moments. I'm not too happy with the cat torture thing in Argento's movie (fake or not...), but as I said; it has it's moments.

Very true. This movie was filmed in Pittsburgh (where I used to live) so it will always hold a special place in my heart. As for a horror anthology film, it succeeds because it splits between two short films as opposed to two or three.

Also, the scene where

[Show spoiler]

is one of the most cringe worthy moments in a horror film.

opterasis · 03-27-2009, 02:44 PM

I bought the limited edition dvd back when it was first released, and never got around to watching it, and ended up selling it off a few months ago. I'll probably pick this up and finally watch it.

Well with that said, I HAVE heard good things about their Blu-Ray for The Bird With The Crystal Plumage...

Blue Underground is the Criterion of old, low budget horror movies like these.

Here's another review: http://hometheatermag.com/moviereviews/031509eyes/

It received PQ: 4/5 and AQ: 2.5/5

I ordered it from Amazon so hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow or Wednesday.

owa · 04-03-2009, 11:24 PM

Just got through watching it and it looks good for a low-budget horror flick. The bitrate was one of the highest I've seen. It stays around 37+ the whole time. Where's the guy that was always posting the bitrate averages. I'd be interested in seeing what the average for the movie is. Also, they include a DTS HD MA audio track as well as a TrueHD one. The sound is just so-so though.

redtornado · 04-13-2009, 04:24 PM

I just watched this with my wife and we both thought the first story with George Romero, was really creepy.

The second story was unwatchable. Animal cruelty is disgusting. Turned it off half way through. I may not like cats, but wanting to watch someone torture one (even in a movie), crosses the line.

sgtpeppers · 04-13-2009, 11:48 PM

They werent real cats I hope you know.

redtornado · 04-14-2009, 12:22 AM

I know they werent real, but it was so graphic.

You should check out Cannibal Holocaust. No cats but a turtle and some other small animals. I also come with the animal cruelty free version.

Make sure to avoid Cannibal Holocaust then. Real animal cruelty and really upsetting.
