As a horror fan, there a few things I’m a sucker for. Well,
it’s a lot of things. For the sake of this review, it’s necessary to know four
of them: Edgar Allen Poe, George Romero, Dario Argento, and anthologies.
Combining these four pieces into one film should be a recipe for success. Going
into Two Evil Eyes, that’s the mindset I adopted. Particularly when Blue
Underground gives the film some incredibly lavish treatment in this latest
3-Disc Blu Ray set. It’s something of a shame that it’s a film that I haven’t
seen until this point, if anything for the four reasons above, but lukewarm
reactions from a lot of my cinephile friends created hesitation in me to leap
into the film. Maybe the idea of it is better than the actual product.
