The Eyes of the Amaryllis is a curious blend of drama, fantasy, and horror, set against the haunting backdrop of 1880 Nantucket. The story revolves around a young girl sent to live with her eccentric grandmother, who is steeped in mysterious rituals tied to a lost lover. The atmosphere is thick with an eerie sense of longing and the supernatural. While the pacing can feel languid at times, it allows the viewer to savor the unfolding strangeness. Practical effects, minimal yet effective, enhance that unsettling feeling. Performances lean heavily into the emotional weight of loss and hope, creating a distinctive tone that lingers. It’s one of those films that sticks with you, not for flashy moments but for its quiet, unsettling presence.
