Eyes of Fire

Eyes of Fire

Directed by Avery Crounse

On the 18th century frontier, an adulterous preacher and his followers flee to ‘the promised land’ only to enter a valley of lust, madness, pagan vengeance and hallucinatory terror. In 1983, acclaimed photographer Avery Crounse made his debut as writer/director with what is considered to be the seminal American folk horror film. Misunderstood by audiences and mishandled by distributors, it has remained virtually unseen until now.

Huge fan. It's almost a sequel to The VVitch. I'm obsessed with the cinematography on this one.

Unique and unsettling visuals in a fully-realized setting. Definitely worth a watch.

Definitely ahead of it's time! Beautiful, folky, atmospheric, and doesn't shove the answers in your face leaving room for interpretation.
