Terror Eyes (1989)



This curious anthology ensemble concerns a script writer who has no experience of writing horror, but who is bizarrely asked to write a script for a horror film. She then starts having nightmares which she tries to convert into stories, however forgets them / is unable to transpose them to a script due to writers' block / is useless - a combination of the three is likely.

She eventually gets her friends to do all the work for her as stories are told by them via ye olde tried and tested method of 'friends around a campfire' shtick, and are generally passable if a little dull at times; but wait! It also has Satan, some stop-motion effects and a weird ending that kind of compliments the overall wonky aesthetic of this one. Despite Terror Eyes' haphazard approach and ropey set-up there is some schlocky fun to be had here.

[A little slice of irony too, but I've been trying to write something about this one for several days now but have endured my own writer' block in terms of what to say about this oddity.]
