George Romero's "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" tells how the wife of an elderly, wealthy man and her lover--who also happens to be the husband's private physician--scheme to control his assets. Dying before they can carry out their plans, his soul is caught between life and death while they freeze the body to finish their work. In the Dario Argento-directed "The Black Cat" a crime photographer, known for his photos' gruesome content, kills his girlfriend's titular pet and then his girlfriend. Soon he gets a good look at what he's done. ~ Kristie Hassen, Rovi

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!

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.
