EYE

About This Movie

EYE (2020) is a peculiar gem in the animation realm. It stands out not just for its unique premise but for the almost surreal atmosphere it creates. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to really absorb the oddity of an eye meeting its demise at the hands of a hammer and a block of wood. The visuals are striking, with a minimalistic yet haunting style that enhances the unsettling themes of fragility and mortality. The practical effects, though limited, add a rawness that makes the encounter feel visceral. There’s a dark humor woven through the short runtime that lingers, almost like an afterthought. It’s not your typical animated fare, but it’s certainly distinctive in its execution.
