Blu-ray Review – Eight Eyes

"Eight Eyes" is one of the first films produced by Vinegar Syndrome. The company has been specializing in bringing obscure pictures to Blu-ray and UHD for over a decade now, typically focusing on grungy, hyperviolent exploitation cinema that would otherwise be forgotten. Their support for "Eight Eyes" makes sense, as co-writer/director/editor Austin Jennings is out to create a mean B-movie that's filled with rough locations and menacing characters, sold with plenty of gory events.
