The Eyes Below

About This Movie

The Eyes Below is this intriguing little horror flick from 2022 that really leans into the uncanny. It’s got this thick, almost claustrophobic atmosphere that creeps in as Eugène tries to catch some Zs—only for something sinister to invade his space. The pacing is deliberate, which adds to that feeling of dread building up, you know? The practical effects are surprisingly effective; they really pull you into his nightmare. While the director remains unnamed, the performance of the lead is compelling enough to keep you glued to the screen. It’s all about that tension and the primal fears we face when we’re most vulnerable at night. A solid piece for anyone who appreciates the craft behind indie horror.
