Dead Eye

About This Movie

So, Dead Eye is quite a grim little piece from 2011. You’ve got this unsettling dynamic between Raymond and his Uncle Joe, who’s not just a family member but a source of torment. The pace is deliberate, almost suffocating at times, which amplifies the tension. The film leans heavily into themes of isolation and the complexity of familial love—or what might masquerade as love. Practical effects are pretty gritty, not overly polished, which adds to the rawness of the horror. It’s a mix of psychological and physical dread that’ll leave you thinking about it long after the credits roll. The performances really sell the dark atmosphere, especially with the strained relationship that unfolds. It’s one of those films that gets under your skin, in a good way, if you’re into that sort of thing.
