Eight Eyes

This special limited edition side loading slipcase (designed by Robert Sammelin) is limited to 3,000 units and is only available on our website and at select indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them. American tourists Cass and Gav are backpacking their way across the Balkans. Shortly after crashing a wedding, they run into a mysterious Slav who goes by “Saint Peter.” Offering to give them an authentic tour of the region, the young couple take him up on the proposal, but soon fall prey to Saint Peter’s increasingly strange and manipulative behaviors, culminating with Gav’s sudden disappearance. Desperate to find him, and confident that Saint Peter is somehow connected to his vanishing, Cass is pulled deeper and deeper into a sinister web of violence as she comes to realize Saint Peter’s terrifying true intentions. The feature film directing debut of Austin Jennings (Shudder’s The Last Drive-In With Joe Bob Briggs), EIGHT EYES fuses a paranoid thriller through late period Euro horror aesthetics. Photographed on 16mm and Super 8mm, entirely on location in Serbia and Macedonia, and starring rising scream queen Emily Sweet (VHS ‘99) alongside a commanding debut performance from Bruno Veljanovski as Saint Peter, and featuring grisly gore effects by Miroslav Lakobrija (A Serbian Film) along with a nightmarish score composed by Devon Goldberg and performed by Morricone Youth, Vinegar Syndrome Pictures is proud to present the blu-ray debut of our first entirely original production. directed by: Austin Jenningsstarring: Emily Sweet, Bradford Thomas, Bruno Veljanovski2023 / 88 min / 1.85:1 / English 2.0 Stereo Additional info: Region Free Blu-ray Shot entirely on motion picture film and finished in 4K Commentary track with co-writer/director/editor Austin Jennings, Producer Justin Martell and co-writer/animator/sound recordist Matt Frink "So Much to Love" (15 min) - an interview with actress Emily Sweet "It's an Experience" (14 min) - an interview with actor Bradford Thomas "Answering Honestly" (12 min) - an interview with actor Bruno Veljanovski "A Piece of History" (16 min) - an interview with co-producer Seager Dixon "Doing Cowboy Shit" (19 min) - an interview with cinematographer Sean Dahlberg "Idea Man" (12 min) - an interview with co-writer/animator/sound recordist Matt Frink A group discussion with co-writer/director/editor Austin Jennings, cinematographer Sean Dahlberg and co-producer Seager Dixon (52 min) "Production Diary" (18 min) - a collection of behind-the-scenes footage Reversible sleeve artwork English SDH subtitles
