Haunting Trailer for the Horror Thriller THE EYES OF MY MOTHER
"I remember I was fascinated by how an inside of the body looked. She always hoped I would be a surgeon one day."
I've got an eerie trailer here for an unsettling film called The Eyes of My Mother. This is an indie horror film from director Nicolas Pesce, and it premiered at Sundance earlier this year. I didn't get a chance to see it while I was there, but I wish I had! This movie looks completely jacked up.
I came across the trailer at Firstshowing, and they say the film has been described as "a nightmare that is so unsettling and disturbing that many who've seen it want to forget it but can't." Sounds like my kind of film, and I love the black and white photography! Here's the synopsis:
In their secluded farmhouse, a mother, formerly a surgeon in Portugal, teaches her daughter, Francisca, to understand anatomy and be unfazed by death. One afternoon, a mysterious visitor horrifyingly shatters the idyll of Francisca’s family life, deeply traumatizing the young girl, but also awakening some unique curiosities. Though she clings to her increasingly reticent father, Francisca’s loneliness and scarred nature converge years later when her longing to connect with the world around her takes on a distinctly dark form.
The movie will get a limited theatrical and VOD release on December 2nd. Check out the trailer and let us know if this is a film you'd be interested in watching.
