Eyes Are Upon You

About This Movie

Eyes Are Upon You is one of those films that sits comfortably in the shadows of the late '90s crime horror scene. The atmosphere? It's gritty, with a palpable sense of dread permeating every frame. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but that almost adds to its charm, making those tense moments hit harder. The practical effects are surprisingly well-done for its budget—there's a rawness that often gets lost in modern CGI. The performances are solid, especially from the hitman character, who brings that unsettling edge. It’s more than just a story about two losers in a bad spot; it explores desperation and how far people will go when cornered. There’s a lingering sense of doom that makes it distinctive, lingering long after the credits roll.
