Nick O @Nicki1985 Aug 3 This gory,highly stylized and definitely under seen desert slasher really gets under your skin and creeps you out in all the right ways…truly making it a rare 80’s serial killer gem. See more 10/28/2021 Really B rated movie. The cinematography was absolutely laughable. I thought "is this movie made by a high school student? Someone taking film classes in college?" Everything about it was really, really bad. I guess people who watch only horror movies could sort of like this. See more 10/20/2021 Donald Cammell reportedly spent his childhood on the knee of Aleister Crowley, he went from a painter to a writer to a director. While a good chunk of his career was confounded by trying to make multiple movies with Marlon Brando, he did leave us with Demon Seed, Performance and this movie before killing himself with a shotgun. Rich young women keep getting killed in Globe, Arizona and this movie in no way skimps from the horrific carnage that they are treated to. Even though this is from 1987, it's still shocking. The first kill has an incredible 55 cuts in two minutes and twenty seconds, making it seem even more violent than it is. Detective Charles Mendoza to visit Paul White, a sound expert to the rich and famous that is able to make an echo that he hears inside the air cavities of his head — yes, Cammell definitely made this — and that's how he picks where the speakers go in each room. Paul stole his wife Joan from an old friend Mike on a hunting trip in which he mutilated a deer and covered his face in its blood. Again, Cammell definitely made this movie. Oh yeah — and Mike is haunting the couple, ten years older and walking. the streets constantly eating peanut butter and claims he has the ability to see the past and future, which may come in handy because Paul has definitely been murdering women and hiding them in his bathroom, explaining to his wife when he's caught that the universe has picked him because its heart is female and destructive like a black hole and demands destruction. And also because…you know who made this movie. Paul then decides to lock his wife in the basement, dress in Kabuki makeup with a vest covered with explosives and chases his wife, daughter and even Mike into a cave where he keeps making his echo sound to please himself and further explains how the universe wants him to kill women. Yeah — you know that I totally loved this absolutely berserk movie. For all Brando screwed with Cammell professionally, he did take the time to write a letter to the MPAA to ensure that this didn't get an X rating. So there's that, I guess. See more 05/18/2020 It doesn't take long to figure out this is not your run-of-the-mill thriller. The off-kilter dialogue, editing, and plot structure give the film a distinctively menacing quality that burrows under the viewer's skin and never quite leaves. Disturbing from start to finish, White of the Eye is a refreshingly modern noir that deserves a wider audience. See more 09/14/2018 Outstanding that so many critics dont like this gem. This film is unique. See more 05/07/2017 Not as much of a slasher as I was expecting, but it was interesting. David Keith is great in it, and the interplay with other characters and developingâ??relationships make it more engaging than it had any right to be. See more Read all reviews
