Leave your thoughts about Starry Eyes.
| TheFrightFile.comDustin PutmanIt has often been said that Hollywood changes people. "Starry Eyes" disturbingly, unforgettably takes this adage to the literal brink, then pushes far beyond it for chillingly good measure. |
| Film ThrillsDeirdre CrimminsThe characters also have very real and complicated relationships. Nothing is one-dimensional. |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsAs gory as it is corrosively cynical, a supernatural mood piece that's equally influenced by the arthouse horror movies of David Lynch and Roman Polanski, and the grindhouse-ready Satanic Panic films of the '70s, like "To the Devil a Daughter," and "The Devil Rides out." |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Devin FaraciNot a slow burn so much as a strong build up, and once STARRY EYES gets where it's going the film becomes explosively violent and shocking. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe degeneration into familiar genre tropes reduces the impact of the wittily satirical set-up, with the result that Starry Eyes fails to live up to its initial promise. But the film indicates genuine talent on the part of its directors/screenwriters, who infuse the proceedings with a dark, gothic creepiness that is further enhanced by Jonathan Snipes' retro, synthesizer-infused score reminiscent of John Carpenter. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonAn age-old fable given a modern Hollywood twist, Starry Eyes is a sublimely satirical and horrific examination of the real price of blind ambition that isn't afraid to let things get nasty or weird. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoStarry Eyes balances Hollywood satire and splattery gore in a way that's both fresh and inviting, taking a typical struggling actress and exploiting her story with everything the horror genre has to offer. |
| Entertainment WeeklyClark CollisHorror fans should keep their eyes on the filmmakers — and Essoe, who gives a star-making performance. |
| VarietyRichard KuipersThough it's a tad overcranked in the final furlong, the sheer energy on display and a devilishly compelling plot ultimately win the day. |
| TheHorrorShowScott WeinbergA rough, gritty indie combo of Faust and Black Swan -- set in the cutthroat world of young Hollywood. |
