Two Evil Eyes [Blu-ray]

Two Evil Eyes [Blu-ray] Review

George Romero and Dario Argento are undoubtedly two of the most iconic directors in the world of horror, yet for some reason, Two Evil Eyes has usually played last fiddle in comparison to either director's more prolific works. Both helm separate tales with Two Evil Eyes, which is based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Romero's is "The Facts in the Case of Mr. Valdemar", in which a trophy wife (Adrienne Barbeau) and her doctor lover (Ramy Zada) plot to rid themselves of her old, wealthy husband. Then things end up taking a supernatural turn for the worse, naturally. This segment is far from the best you'll see from Romero, but it is a fun dirge nevertheless. Argento tackles one of Poe's finest and most renowned tales with "The Black Cat", in which a photographer (Harvey Keitel giving a great performance) is driven to murderous lengths after his girlfriend takes in a stray black cat. This segment is definitely the better of the two, as it showcases just what made Argento such a celebrated horror director in the first place with some spectacular camera work. In essence, Two Evil Eyes are Poe tales with more modern twists, featuring some pretty good gore effects by the great Tom Savini. And now that Blue Underground has released the film on Blu-Ray, it is more than worth discovering or re-discovering all over again. Look for a young Julie Benz (TV's Dexter) in a blink and you'll miss her role as Keitel's girlfriend's violin student.

Two Evil Eyes [Blu-ray] Overview

A Double Dose of Terror from the Directors of DAWN OF THE DEAD and SUSPIRIA

The masters of modern horror - George Romero and Dario Argento - bring you an unprecedented pair of shockers inspired by the tales of Edgar Allan Poe. In Romero's "The Facts In The Case Of Mr. Valdemar," a conniving wife (Adrienne Barbeau of THE FOG) and her lover use a hypnotic trance to embezzle a fortune from her dying husband, only to receive some chilling surprises from beyond the grave. Then in Argento's "The Black Cat," a deranged crime scene photographer (Harvey Keitel of RESERVOIR DOGS) is driven to brutal acts of madness and murder by his girlfriend's new pet. But will this cunning feline deliver a final sickening twist of its own?

Martin Balsam (PSYCHO) and Tom Atkins (MANIAC COP) co-star in this wild horror hit that also features grisly effects by gore master Tom Savini (FRIDAY THE 13TH, THE PROWLER).
