Eyes of Fire – Collector’s Edition [Blu‑ray]
Key Features & Product Description
The lost American folk‑horror classic finally emerges from the wilderness.
Long considered a missing cornerstone of the genre, Eyes of Fire marks the striking 1983 debut of photographer‑turned‑filmmaker Avery Crounse. Mishandled on release and rarely seen for decades, the film now arrives in its worldwide disc premiere, fully restored in 4K from the original negative.
Set on the 18th‑century frontier, the story follows an adulterous preacher and his small band of followers as they flee persecution in search of a new beginning. Their journey leads them into a remote valley steeped in pagan forces, madness, and hallucinatory terror—a place where nature itself seems alive, hungry, and vengeful.
Featuring performances by Dennis Lipscomb (Retribution), Guy Boyd (Body Double), and Kerry Sherman (Satan’s Cheerleaders), this “extraordinary horror fantasy” (The Psychotronic Video Guide) blends frontier myth, folk magic, and dreamlike dread into a haunting vision unlike anything else from its era.
This definitive release includes more than 2½ hours of special features, including the long‑rumored alternate cut Crying Blue Sky.
