Eyes of Fire
Directed by Avery Crounse
On the 18th century frontier, an adulterous preacher and his followers flee to ‘the promised land’ only to enter a valley of lust, madness, pagan vengeance and hallucinatory terror. In 1983, acclaimed photographer Avery Crounse made his debut as writer/director with what is considered to be the seminal American folk horror film. Misunderstood by audiences and mishandled by distributors, it has remained virtually unseen until now.

Loved this gem. I really liked the cast, they did a great job. Hope to find more hidden gems like this one in the future. I rewatch this often.
Wow! The special effects were decent considering the year made! Creepy little film that should be better known.
