Het Oog

About This Movie

So, 'Het Oog' is this eerie little gem from '89 that digs deep into the psyche. It’s all about a guy who spirals into this obsession with eye-related nightmares, which makes for some fascinating visuals. The atmosphere? Thick with dread, almost tangible. Pacing can feel uneven at times, but that only adds to the disorientation. The practical effects are surprisingly effective for its era, really heightening the horror elements and making you squirm in your seat. The performances, while not over-the-top, feel grounded and raw, pulling you into the protagonist's struggle. It's distinctive in how it merges surrealism with a very personal horror. It’s one of those films that leaves you thinking long after the credits roll.
