REVIEW:
This was the grainiest, most homemade-looking horror movie I've ever seen, and I'll be damned if it didn't turn out to be one of the best horror movies ever. I fucking loved every second of it! This is what horror movies are all about. Forget torture-porn, we don't need to actually see the gore when pure violence and brutality and madness is so much more disturbing. I'm telling you, this is one and a half hour of constant panicking, constant screaming, constant violence and constant entertainment. Because no matter how difficult it may be to watch this movie at times due to its graphic nature, this is one kick-ass film and I don't think that anyone can disagree with me on that.

There's not really a whole lot of story in here. Five girls get lost while on their way home and soon find themselves terrorized by a psychotic woman. And man is she ever so psychotic. She plays demented games with the girls, chasing them, torturing them, forcing them to do nasty things and she has no plans of letting them die easily. I don't think that I've ever sat through a movie with so much chaos and hysteria in it. And the thing is, it all feels so real. It was like watching a documentary. Remember that disturbing footage of the high school hazing that a bunch of young girls were involved in a couple of years ago? Yeah well, this movie evokes pretty much the exact same emotions, just because it feels so realistic.

It didn't even bother me for a moment that the movie was extremely grainy and shot with handheld camera as that only added to the whole feeling of the movie. In fact, I'm sure it wouldn't have been even half as effective had it been shot in the good old fashioned way. The picture is occasionally blurry, some camera angles stay on for way too long and the entire thing feels so amateurish - and I LOVED IT! It's simply genius. This is by far the most demented movie that I've seen to this date - despite the fact that it had close to no gore in it.

I can't stress what a unique experience this was enough as I haven't seen anything like this ever before. It's simply a brilliant and disturbing horror movie with a genius ending which both satisfies and entertains. As you can probably hear, I'm extremely worked up over this movie. It's just so fucking brilliant! Still head in with low expectations so that you won't be disappointed, but I don't think that you will either way. Enough talking, now go out and get this movie!!

GORE:
Lots of blood splashing everywhere but no real gore.

SOUNDTRACK:
This was also genius. The techno music mixed with the black metal got you even more worked up.

BOTTOM LINE:
Simply outstanding! I'm lost for words. Five Across The Eyes is one of the most unique experiences I've ever had the pleasure of sitting through. It's a chaotic, demented, disturbing horror flick and it works on every level! I loved it. I absolutely loved it.
