Critic Reviews

  • Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid

    I wasn't too surprised to find that I liked both parts of this film, regardless of the negative buzz.

  • Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton, Dread Central

    Two Evil Eyes holds up flawlessly, and it's every bit as bloody and scary as you remember it being. Given that it has never looked or sounded better, enjoy the chills!

  • Staci Layne Wilson, StaciWilson.com

    Cool cats kill!

  • Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

    It's a tough call as to which director's episode is lamer.

  • Luke Y. Thompson, New Times

    You can't go too wrong with these directors. Maybe just a little bit wrong, but it's still good.

    Plays well off of each director's strengths and weaknesses. Disturbingly brilliant.

    Animal lovers beware.

  • Marcus W


    Imagine if Romero and Argento got together to adapt a couple of Edgar Allen Poe's tales...well, ta-da! Romero's deals with a body that isn't quite dead, but in a far more original way than usual. And the ending is fucking creepy. Yet it's Argento who rules… More
