Dark Eyes

This independent art house film was created on a budget so low that it is wonder that it ever came to the screen. Yet despite the lack of funding it is a masterpiece of creative film making that shows what can be done with determination and pure genius. Andrew Spencer, the writer and director, brings a film that is so full of disturbing imagery, superbly photographed, it puts many high budget films to shame. Throughout there is an undercurrent of doom and unrest which is cleverly concealed so that you are never quite able to say what it is that produces this feeling. This is the best of psycho/horror - the things you never see. Hitchcock and a few other knew this trick and so does Spencer. As a film it will only ever appeal to the discerning film goer who is prepared to put in the effort, it's not one for the casual viewer. Those making the effort will be rewarded with a visual style that is not copied from elsewhere but is new, fresh and inviting to the eye.
