Review – Eyes of Fire

What a bizarre movie, even for an indie. The plot follows a group of settlers in 1750 who enter a valley of concentrated evil and set up residence. The evil takes several forms, including a demonic child with glow-in-the-dark eyes, a group of naked mud spirits, and a big witch-like thing made of dirt and leaves. The filmmakers do their best with a limited repertoire of special effects, and oddly enough the result’s not too bad. The script is a little muddled and meandering, but the basic concept is interesting enough to keep the movie moving. The film contains some unpleasant animal death and some really strange sexuality. But other than that, it’s entertaining in an odd sort of way. Mildly amusing
