The Killer Eye

What idiot thought this movie was a good idea to make? It was boring and the acting was horrible, not to mention one of the stupidest plots I have ever been exposed too. Do yourself a favor and leave this one on the rental shelf..........

Unfortunately, this is not one of those movies which are so bad that they're actually good. This one is REALLY bad, its main fault being that it is very boring.

Even the voyeuristic 'sex' scenes, which I guess this movie was about in the first place, are boring! In fact, it's not a horror movie, it's just a very bad skin flick with a few supernatural elements thrown in. At least, other movies in the same vein (like 'Dinosaur Island') contain some good humor, which you can't say about this piece of trash.

Three reedeming features, on the other hand: Jacqueline Lovell looks good, and the homosexuality and divorce issue are quite special in this kind of film.

Here's another distressingly bad horror/skin flick directed yet again from the prolific and anonymous David DeCoteau (who is hiding under the alias "Richard Chasen" here). David seems to have excellent connections to video chain distributors and late-night cable outlets because his films are much easier to find than your average low-budget flicks. This is not necessarily a good thing.

THE KILLER EYE does offer a bare bones plot involving a scientist who accidentally summons up a giant mutant eyeball from the "8th dimension." Unfortunately the monster has little to do other than spy on swingin' sex, a girl taking a shower and two supposedly funny, muscle-bound, drugged out numbskulls who lay around in their underwear watching Linnea Quigley's shower scene in CREEPOZOIDS. The gorgeous Jacqueline Lovell (former adult actress Sara St. James) is the scientist's "neglected" girlfriend, who naturally has to seek sexual fulfillment elsewhere. She and a neighboring woman end up having a "close encounter" with the eye monster, that starts zapping people with a green energy beam during the last five minutes to justify the title. Otherwise it should have been called THE HORNY EYE.

So to sum it up, this film has a lame story, the usual assortment of untalented (but attractive) men and women, extreme time padding (slow-mo overdose, repeated shots) and a senseless script that was apparently made up as they went along. Don't bother!

The Killer Eye (1999) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a science experiment that goes wrong causing a homeless man's eye to come to life and go on a rape and killing spree. Can anyone stop it?

This movie is directed by David DeCoteau (Creepozoids) and stars Jacqueline Lovell (Head of the Family), Blake Adams (Justified), Linnea Quigley (Return of the Living Dead) and Jonathan Norman (Frankenstein Reborn).

This is a very strange and random movie. The eye special effects are crazy and the attacks on females are absolutely crazy. There was way more nudity in this than I expected going in and the sex scenes between the eye and females were insane. They make all the men in this tools, awkward and annoying. The storyline is very straightforward - killer eye accidentally created, starts raping people and then find a way to destroy it...nothing special.

Overall this is a unique addition to the horror genre. I can't say this is any good but I can't say don't watch it either. I would this a 4/10 and recommend seeing it at your own risk.

I saw this movie at the video store offered as a five day rental for only $.99, which should have told me something. At the time I didn't rent it. Later I read the comments section for this movie and at the time no one liked it. However the content of the movie intrigue me and I rented it anyway. Big Mistake! Everyone was right. This movie is unbelievably bad. The acting stunk, the storyline was incomprehensible, and I got the feeling that they started to run out of money before it was finished and had to hurry the ending along. The movie runs at only 68 minutes; which is merciful. The copy I rented had a section of about 12 minutes at the end which revealed the behind the scenes making of the film. It looked like everyone thought they were involved with some kind of classic. This is one time when I should have listened to everyone else and not rented the film. It's absolutely amazing to me that anyone would want to have their name asociated with this product. It seems to me that this kind of film would be the kiss of death for someones career. There is a graduate student in my department who thinks this movie is one of the nest he has seen; a statement which made me doubt his sanity.
