Review of Two Evil Eyes (1990) by Daniel K — 22 Apr 2010

2: I'd give the Romero half a 1.5 and the Argento held a 2.5, which means both are a disappointment, especially considering the films are inspired by Edgar Allen Poe stories. The production values seem incredibly low and almost everything about the film has a tacky 80's feel.

Romero's picture is less than riveting even if it does have it's moments. He couldn't sustain the suspense or horror though. Argento does a markedly better job, partially due to Keitel I'm sure, but the picture is a pale shadow of his best work.

Not much here is visually, aurally, or thematically inventive. The real strength of the film lies in Poe's tale.
