3.5/4

Even if the taut screenplay somewhat disappoints in the finale, Tilley keeps the visual aspects first-rate and never loses sight of what he has set out to accomplish.

It truly is some fascinating worldbuilding. Of course, a little more explanation for the character (or just more excessive backstory) wouldn’t have hurt.

Compared to contemporary horror, Eye for an Eye takes a more traditional route. The film thematically leans heavily on overused horror cliches, but its real focus, and perhaps the most effective element, is its surrealness.

Imagine “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” (1982) without the overt abuse, and then suddenly some kid drops in completely clueless about the mess that they walked into. Is this hagsploitation? If it is, then more of this please and thank you! Delicious

Eye for an Eye deals with the haunting ramifications of hatred, and the transformative potential in admitting one’s guilt.

It has a strong atmosphere and handles its revenge theme without going overboard. While the pacing slows down at times, it manages to maintain a sense of tension throughout. It may not offer major surprises, but it knows its tone and purpose and keeps you engaged.

Really fell flat for me. They could’ve done so much more with this story line but it just became cheesy and anticlimactic

This movie was so cool! I love the southern backdrop and the eye for an eye backstory. I particularly liked the eerie surreal dreamscape theme common in the movie. I also liked the very creative use of the scissors in the latter part of the movie. Highly recommend!
