EYES OF FIRE is one of the most beautiful, bewitching, and psychedelic historical period horror films of the '80s… that you’ve never seen!Â
Long before THE WITCH (2015) rattled audiences with lurid satanic panic, obscure auteur Avery Crounse delivered his own transcendent meditation on blasphemy, witchcraft, and place as active agent set in the uncertain American frontier of 1750. Sadly, Crounse’s compositional masterwork was destined for inglorious VHS purgatory. EYES OF FIRE tells the tale of a dubious preacher who narrowly escapes execution for adultery, and ventures forth into terra incognita with a small band of loyal colonists. Pursued downstream by Shawnee tribesmen, the exiles make their stand in a primeval wooded valley rife with chthonic forces. Soon, all hell breaks loose. '80s style! This absolutely must be experienced on the big screen to be believed. Do not miss this one-night-only screening on rare 35mm! You won’t guess the ending…Â
