Quick Hit

Eye of the Devil has a clean hook and a premise stronger than the execution, which keeps it well below the line. There’s some life in it, but not enough.

Full Take

You can feel the movie reaching for a hit from frame one. It lives or dies on execution, not reputation, and that matters here. British genre discipline gives the film a cleaner shape than many of its pulp peers. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s enough to push it into BAD.
