Reviews (1)
A solid thriller from the 80s with very nice cinematography and a gripping, almost horror ending. It’s one of the sources of inspiration for Adam Wingard’s much anticipated You’re Next, coming this year. "I was really influenced by this 80′s serial killer film called White Of The Eye, I saw clips of it on YouTube initially and it’s Donald Cammel who did Demon Seed and stuff. But the way that they shot their kill scenes was with a lot of inserts, a lot of slow motion." That film can be watched on YouTube. (The slow motion kill scene Wingard speaks about is right at the beginning, at around the fifth minute.)
