This gruesome horror film is about a mother-fixated ophthalmologist’s assistant with an unhealthy interest in eyeballs and goes on a killing spree to collect human eyeballs for his mother’s collection. But this is all just a horror movie viewed by a small crowd where a very real killer in the audience begins killing the patrons one by one paralleling the action in the other movie.
Zelda Rubinstein is unforgettable, and if u liked her in the Poltergeist films she is even more stellar here. Known to horror buffs as the all-time movie within a movie… but its psychological mind-warp scene is as tense as it gets. The under-tones of the snails and doves contribute highly to the paranoia. A re-release definitely should be in order; this film deserves a second look by all. Anyone who has extreme phobia of “anything” to do with harm to the eyes- beware! Unfortunate that most mark this off as a “gore-fest” when its anything but. It is a brilliant study of the mind, and will blow you away with its oddity.
