Movie Reviews of The Killer Eye
Movie Review: Oh, Where to Begin...
Summary: 4 Stars
On the bright side, Jacqueline Lovell looks very good and let's face it, that is the best thing about this truly bad movie. We have "Creepy Bill" doing a really odd impression of Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice throughout this flick (Why? No one knows.), two stoners with great bodies and no acting ability - wait...did I actually use the words "acting ability" within the confines of a review for THIS MOVIE? No, no, no - Lovell is the closest thing to an actor you will find in this thing. As for everyone else...pu-lease. Lovells husband, who married her for her money (With that body? The man is truly a mad scientist!) is conducting experiments into another dimension and brings back through this tiny eyepiece INTO a street kids eyeball, which then emerges out into an enormous killer eye. Kind'a raises the hair on the back of your neck, huh?
And shall we touch upon the amazing special effects? Let us do more than touch. Let us beat them senseless with a baseball bat. Much like the plot they are awful and practically nonexistent.
Would I recommend this movie? Oh yes. While a truly bad movie, it certainly isn't in the same catagory as BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS (truly the WORST movie ever made), but then what is? It will go on my shelf with PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. For the lovers of insanely mind numbing and fun films, and I'll admit to being one, it is well worth owning.
Movie Review: Giant Killer Eye on DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
This is not to be confused with Roger Corman's tribute to B-films, that's The Phantom Eye. Also don't confuse it with Forrest Tucker's alien invasion movie, that's The Crawling Eye. Nope, this one is a collection of bad actors, sets that don't fit together, a script which confuses the sets, and a giant eyeball on a stalk that has a thing for women.A goofy scientist is trying to view the eighth dimension. His test subject is accidentally infected by something from said dimension. It swells into the giant eye. The eye swarms around an apartment building by using the air vents. Huh? The vents are about four feet by three feet.
The scientist has a wife who tries to bed every male in the film (except Weird Bill) as she wants it all the time. Two male bodybuilders who do heavy drugs and hang out in their underwear are one of her targets. They are also a target for the Eye.
Anyway, the Eye runs around the building feeling up women and blasting people with green rays. Luckily it is sensitive to light. In the end it is cornered (don't know why it couldn't get away) and flees back to its home dimension.
Really bad film. The bodybuilders apartment is a two-story studio with the door on a landing in the top half. The script occasionally calls the lab the attic and the attic the lab. To make it worse, the bodybuilders place has a peaked ceiling with beams (shouldn't that one be at the top?).
So we have a film with a bad script, bad acting (I love Weird Bills fake voice), lots of nudity, strange characters, and a monster eye. It's so bad, what's not to like?
The DVD has no special features except a small group of trailers for other films. There is not even a scene selection option. At least it does have tracks.
Movie Review: Horror?...but, in a "funny" way
Summary: 3 Stars
This film is really out there. It has some pretty good effects which i wasn't really looking forward too, so, that surprised me for a low budget film. The acting is wellll...lets just say it has its moments..lol. But, the film has some great funny parts thats for sure. If your into comedy/horror than this film is a great pick up for you other than that, its a rental for sure.Movie Review: Boring!
Summary: 2 Stars
Now I like this kind of movie.....usually.The reviewer below covers most of it & the two other movies he mentioned - 'Hideous' & 'Head of the Family' - I do like, but unfortunately this one just doesn't have anything going for it.
A giant eye going around, for want of a better phrase, having sex with people does sound like it could be funny....but it isn't. I hate to give a Full Moon movie only two stars beause I'm definitely a fan, but to be honest, this barely deserves one! Come on people, get a grip, this isn't even a good bad movie!
Movie Review: QUEER EYE FOR THE QUEER GUY
Summary: 1 Stars
Ok, so the eye isn't gay, but it's no more incorrect than the film's title. The eye is very queer in every other way. Oh hang on I think it might have experimented, once. It's eyesexual.
THE PLOT: Endless dumb scenes of the two gays, err guys, in bed together in just their underwear isn't my idea of entertainment.
This made my eye uncomfortable; the film maker shouldn't confuse horror with homo. Oh, but there was no horror either.
Punctuated by unstopping slo mo soft sex scenes with really bad pornograpohy, err photography, this film is only surpassed by porn flicks. But the scenes served their purpose: to make it three times longer. The film.
It's so one-eyed, this film.
No wonder the HUGE EYE popped out that young gay's head and bulged into some monstrous sex object. This one-eyed monster was more like another ball, not an eyeball. Yes his inner eye became his outer eye some 500 times engorged. But instead of being the Enlightened Giant from beyond it could have been, it was a pissweak pipsqueak that just stood there motionless most the time, staring into vacant space. It must have been blind; it never stopped it. So the cock-eyed thing floats around on its tendril perving on chicks, and feeling them up. What a nerve. The optical effects are a green plasma lamp - a disc one - superimposed in the pupil of the giant plastic. Furtherless, the chicks with stalks don't realise it's a monster. At least if the eye hypnotised them and even instantly, that would be the film's one suspension of disbelievable bit.
If this film was aware, there might be plenty of opps for sight gags, and wit. For different situations. But there aren't any situations. Devoid of not just vision, but all senses, this film has no hearing, taste, smell, or touch.
How anyone can see anything in this film is beyond dimension. It was cornea as hell.
The director is blind. Probly a cyclops, judging by his vision. Oh but that means giant, not one-eyed, though he was certainly that. I could only watch the entire film with one eye.
He's got about 12 different names as director. He must be ashamed of himself.
Keep an eye out for this film.
I could never see this film again, unless I was blind. Or in another dimension.
