BLACK EVE

Years before the dawn of torture porn; years before horror was reduced  to dismissing the need for scares and reducing the genre to gross out masochistic blood fests, the slasher genre ruled.  From Halloween in 1978 on, tales of killers stalking the youth of a community dominated the box office.

Black Eve (dir by Ryan Andrews) brings this genre back with a vengeance.  He weaved a complicated tale about a killer running rampant through a party of teenagers.  While avoiding spoilers, all I can say is that the set up isn't the story and Andrews does an excellent job of taking us down a spiral of terror that is both physical and psychological.

Ryan Andrews weaves a narrative that is reminiscent of the slasher classics that came before while forging new ground in terror.
