Just another lovely day at your isolated farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. You milk the cattle, muck out the pigs, feed the captive in the barn you've held prisoner for years who's eyes you gauged out... WHAT?! Yes, you read that right. The protagonist here is a certifiable headcase who just wants your company, but instead of a nice chat over a cup of tea, she requires you to stay FOREVER. When she was young you see, her mother taught how to dissect animals, then she saw the same woman chopped up in front of her by an aimless drifter. No surprisingly she's ever so slightly messed up... Shot in eerie black and white, 'The Eyes Of My Mother' is an atmospheric horror film with a great premise, but something is missing to make it a priority watch. It might be too short to leave much of an impression, the acting generally isn't the best and with so little happening, things tend to drag a little. The ending too, feel like a major anticlimax. True, it's hard to imagine the film finishing any other way, but... yeah. Could be better. 5/10
