Time of the Eagle

About This Movie

So, 'Time of the Eagle' is this curious blend of action and horror, set against the backdrop of Nazi refugees in South America during the late 70s. The film has this gritty atmosphere that really draws you in, almost like you're stepping into a different world. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to that sense of desperation and tension. Practical effects are notable here—there's a certain rawness to them that makes the horror feel more tangible. Performances range from solid to a bit campy, but it fits the film's off-kilter charm. You can tell there's a lot going on beneath the surface, with themes of survival, guilt, and identity woven throughout.

'Time of the Eagle' is somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, given its obscure release and the director's unknown status. It’s hard to find in good condition, with many copies existing only on VHS. The scarcity of physical media has piqued interest over the years, drawing in collectors who appreciate its peculiar niche in genre cinema. If you stumble upon a copy, it’s a little treasure of cinematic oddity that sparks conversation.
