Before THE WITCH, there was EYES OF FIRE. In this seminal 1980s folk horror gem, a rogue 18th century preacher and his followers attempt to establish a settlement beyond the western frontier. But when they encounter a not-so-enchanted forest filled with evil spirits, the group exchanges happiness for apocalyptic madness. Newly restored from the original camera negative, EYES OF FIRE is a dreamlike hallucination that combines arthouse surrealism, gonzo creature effects, and ambitious symbolism to build a truly haunting experience. Imagine Werner Herzog directing an A24 film in 1983 and you’re halfway there.This 35MM print has been made available through the generosity of the G. William Jones Film and Video Collection at the SMU Libraries. VAULT ACCESS is a series devoted to exhibition of the acetate gems in this collection.
