Hey! I’m watching a horror movie a day for the month of October. I’m gonna try and only watch ones I haven’t seen, but sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in the day. They will at least be ones I think more people should watch that aren’t high on the list of most non-horror movie fanatic’s radars.
October 3- The Eyes of My Mother (2016)
Black and white. Haunting. A monochrome nightmare of brackish blood and dead-eyed gibbering terror. A young girl sees her mother chopped to pieces by a psychotic drifter and grows up to be a little bit…strange. As a woman, she has a few bad habits like a complete disconnection with death and humanity.
Not for those easily disturbed, “The Eyes of My Mother” has left imagery seared into my brain that I doubt will ever go away. It’s a horror masterpiece for those deeply entwined in the genre. Newcomers need not even try. Watch it and let it live inside you like a twin you ate in the womb.
Available on Netflix
