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.

When I was a kid, this movie was one of the few that really scared me and after seeing it, I wanted to again and again but until now it was a hard find. Thank you to Shudder for bringing it back but aside from nostalgia, it is both a terrible movie and a guilty pleasure.
Intereting premise, but the rest not much. Acting wasn’t bad
Much better than I expected with some very creepy moments.
5 skulls for the mule
i really enjoyed this.
