Critics Consensus

The Mind's Eye packs a bloody B-movie punch, although its gleeful indulgence in gore may test the limits of all but the least squeamish.

Points for going for it. A lot too B movie though. Love the bloody practical effects and begos would duplicate that on his next one (VFW)... which is a fantastic movie in every way. VFW is awesome

I liked the throwback feel to the movie with the lighting, gore effects, and soundtrack but the production value, acting, and plot seemed to be lacking.

Dude that was awesome.Such a tense movie. A film in league with the likes of the first Scanners. Very brutal sci fi horror thriller.

Painful acting, throw-away dialogue and budgetary restraints are all on display. Can be played in background while loading your dishwasher.

The Mind's Eye is the kind of childish genre movie that gives genre movies a bad reputation.

In the history of cheap gore films, "The Mind's Eye" is just another blip on the bloody screen.

Los Angeles Times

Begos opens "The Mind's Eye" with the words, "This film should be played loud," as though his movie were a rock song - which is actually a fair analogy for a simplistic throwback homage that's all hook and no sophistication.

Wicked Horror

In a world of CGI mush, endless retreads and overcooked posturing, The Mind's Eye provides a welcome respite with its classic, old-school charm.

Rated: 6/10

Stupefying in both concept and execution, The Mind's Eye is simply brainless.

The brilliance of The Mind's Eye is that Joe Begos knows exactly who he's making this movie for - this is a movie by a gorehound for gorehounds.
