Leave your thoughts about Two Evil Eyes.
| New TimesLuke Y. ThompsonYou can't go too wrong with these directors. Maybe just a little bit wrong, but it's still good. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe one directed by Argento is clearly better than Romero's. |
| StarburstChristian JonesAll in all, Two Evil Eyes is one evil eye with perfect vision. The other eye has a cataract. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasIt is amazing what Argento has been able to do in his 65-minute "The Black Cat," which is the more ingenious--and gory--of the two parts. |
| Washington PostRichard HarringtonBut where Romero goes for the cheap, linear approach, Argento's storytelling is painfully poetic, with ever-shifting points of view and asides... There's a madness in Argento's method and it's always appropriate. |
| TV GuideStaffWhile far from the worst adaptation of Poe's work... Two Evil Eyes breaks no new ground. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonI wasn't too surprised to find that I liked both parts of this film, regardless of the negative buzz. |
| User ReviewTasos LTHIS POSTER HUNG OVER MY BED FOR YEARS!!!! |
| User ReviewPrivate UAn anthology horror film by Dario Argento and George A. Romero. The Argento segment stands out as the better of the two. |
| User ReviewAndré ØWhen Blue Underground released this as a limited Double Disc, I jumped on it, How can you go wrong with said authors, actors and of course, Romero and Argento at the helm. Now OOP, you can settle for the one disc, But if you are a collector like myself? This really is a must (Kind of like The Phantasm Sphere...a must have!) Gorewhore Out. |
