Hungry Eyed Woman

About This Movie

Hungry Eyed Woman is quite the unique piece from the early '70s, blending fantasy and romance in a surreal tale. The atmosphere captures a dreamy quality, with the sea nymph's presence creating a hypnotic effect on the men she encounters. It's intriguing how the practical effects, especially the water sequences, add to the otherworldly feel. The pacing is leisurely, allowing viewers to soak in the moments and emotions as she weaves through urban life. Performances range from earnest to melodramatic, contributing to its distinct charm. Not your typical love story, it explores themes of longing and the transient nature of attraction.

Hungry Eyed Woman has had a somewhat elusive existence in collector circles, with limited format releases over the years. It's a title that tends to fly under the radar, making any copy a rarity. Original prints are hard to come by, and there’s a certain charm in the film's unique style that attracts niche audiences. Interest seems to be growing lately, especially among collectors who appreciate the blend of practical effects and the era's filmmaking aesthetics.
