This movie deserves a mention in the DSM because if it ever happened in real life, I would just point at this movie and say that Nicolas Pisce told you so. Eyes of My Mother draws you in with some gorgeous black and white scene setting before bashing your head in with some disturbing and bizarre twists and turns.
The movie focuses on a descent into madness. If I were you, I would go into it blind plotwise because the way the film transpired was totally conflicting with what I was expecting to happen (for better or worse, mostly the former). The stark imagery really makes the more visceral parts more effective, which makes this movie really hard to watch. A lot of it made me feel disturbed and gross. It really is a fascinating character study that could have been fleshed out a little better, but was still excellent on its own.
This was such a great horror film that I'm not sure if I ever want to watch it again. 5/5. |
So I actually watched a movie for the first time in a while.. Crazy, huh?
I wouldn't call this a horror movie, but I agree with your review otherwise. It was good enough to recommend and watch again, but I don't think a second viewing would add much to the experience. It was filmed concisely, which I liked. I didn't find myself creeped out or bothered at any point. I love these kinds of stories.
