Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times 10/08/2018
It is amazing what Argento has been able to do in his 65-minute "The Black Cat," which is the more ingenious--and gory--of the two parts. Go to Full Review Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine 12/22/2001
3.5/4
It was a match made in hell, a dream realized for many horror fans. Go to Full Review Richard Harrington Washington Post 01/01/2000
But where Romero goes for the cheap, linear approach, Argento's storytelling is painfully poetic, with ever-shifting points of view and asides... There's a madness in Argento's method and it's always appropriate. Go to Full Review Rocco T. Thompson Rue Morgue Magazine 07/03/2024
As an ambitious, not-quite masterpiece by two nearly past their prime filmmakers, Two Evil Eyes is a good deal better than it gets credit for. Go to Full Review Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies 03/15/2024
2.5/4
A grisly and graphic anthology horror that cuts itself off with too few stories in its collection. Go to Full Review Gayle Sequeira BFI 03/04/2024
Two masterful horror directors spin Poe’s tales into an anthology of contemporary narratives that center men attempting to get away with murder. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Melissa L @Agent99 Oct 14 Harvey Keitel always plays the bad guy! Two modern-day reimagining of two Edgar Allan Poe stories. Great performances. See more Michael C Jul 11 Such an evil piece of Crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Ian S 11/17/2024 Never been a big fan of Romero apart from Night of the Living Dead. His half of the film was okay at best while Argento's was more creative with a better script. Overall disappointing. Average for these two directors. Some of the acting was also very uneven. Harvey Keitel was the highlight. See more Brad P @Bradster69 03/07/2023 Disjointed and held together by a flimsy concept, Two Evil Eyes is definitely worth watching for the Argento segment. Romero's segment is pretty average, but average Romero is still very good. See more jon c 10/25/2021 Horror meisters Dario Argento and the late George A. Romero collaborate to tell two tales of evil Based on the successful suspenseful stories by Edgar Allan Poe The first story focuses on a 40-year old widow trying to gain access to her husband's funds through her attorney Her husband is on life support and she's having an affair with someone else Both of them plan to swindle the old man out of his fortune even commit murder But there's something supernatural involved The second story is an adaptation of the Black Cat with a feline tied to witchcraft Adrienne Barbeau, Tom Atkins, and Harvey Keitel are the only big name actors I know here As far as the movie by these two horror legend directors the first story is better The second story takes a lot of time to get to the horrificness The first segment had a lot more momentum to it being executed and gives viewers enough horror elements, more of a focused vision The second segment needed to land its footing better Still they do build enough suspense for the actors to work with I've seen better horror anthologies trust me but Argento and Romero show they can collaborate together See more 03/27/2021 Two masters at play with Poe. Adrienne Berbeau and dodgy ex go after her dying husbands money in Romero's first. It doesn't quite cut it - smacks a little of grown up TV Movie, albeit twisted and dark. But... Argento's is just glorious! Touches of giallo and Keitel being a brute in a beret; changes in time, switched viewpoints, twisted dream sequences, all the Poe! Stunning imagery, and that weird jazz score. Insane, but brilliant! See more Read all reviews
