An excellent movie with great actors who were at the top of their game.

"Eye of the Devil" is an intriguing, yet largely unknown horror film from 1966. Sharon Tate shines in her first major film role as a witch named Odile. This amazing film is a must-see for any horror fan!

I like this movie. It has a lot of famous folks in it: Deborah Kerr, David Niven, David Hemmings (Blow Up), a young Donal Pleasence (Halloween, THX-1138), and, of course, Sharon Tate, acting well in a role as an occult witch.
The movie is good black & white atmospheric gothic thriller, with hints of Wicker Man-type stuff. Lots of scenes of black robes black magicians prowling forests outside castles. Interesting camera work on some scenes. Tate looks great; I think her voice was dubbed but some say it wasn't.
NEEDS AN OFFICIAL DVD RELEASE, ideally with lots of SPECIAL FEATURES. I have not seen the uncut or original version of this. :/
