Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Eyes of Fire (1983) dir Avery Crounse Set in 1750 in the North East of America, a preacher and a couple of families are run out of their frontier settlement, and flee into a haunted valley to put off any pursuers. The preacher is convinced he is leading them to a new promised land. Obviously, as it's a haunted valley and this is a horror film, that turns out to be a big mistake. 3 girls eventually make it out, to French territory. This is where the film starts with the story being narrated by the older of the girls. I picked this knowing nothing about it based on Amazon Prime's recommendation, and the fact it is free. I wonder if this is Amazon's way of telling me I need to pay to watch more decent stuff? It really is not scary at all, but I think it was meant to be. i.e. it's not one of those horrors that is more supernatural thriller, it's just not that good. I have seen muppets more frightening than the main monster that comes after them and the special effects, especially the sound effects, are like something from a cheap TV series, rather than a film of the early 80s. The acting is OK but nothing special. The story is reasonable though. The creatures in the valley kind of fuse into the vegetation when they want to disappear, and one of the characters is the daughter of a woman executed as a witch, who has clearly inherited her mothers powers which she uses to help the others. As well as being classed as a horror, this is also classed as Western, which seems odd to me. OK, it was on the western edge of the American colonies of that time, but it's still in New York / Pennsylvania/ Ontario – can that possibly be called a Western? 4 / 10
