Shut up Baby 

Two Evil Eyes  is the second entrant into this year’s festival.  I first saw a picture of this movie on a cone head friend’s story and did not recognize the film.  When I asked about it, it turns out it was a directorial duet between Dario Argento and George Romero. I was shocked, SHOCKED that I had not heard of this movie with these fine directors.  I excitedly decided to include it in this year’s festival and to my surprise, it was the second strike in the IFFF.  I did not enjoy this movie despite the directors and Harvey Keitel.  The first section, The Facts in the Case of Mr. Valdemarreminded me too much of Romero’s other mini- story on the film Creepshow with Ted Danson, titled Something to Tide You Over , a man is murdered and comes back to life as a bluish zombie creature seeking revenge.  Also, Adrienne Barbeaou starred in this story, much like how she starred in another story in  Creepshow  The second story, The Black Cat directed by Argento and starring Harvey Keitel was a bit more interesting but nothing out of the ordinary in my opinion. I enjoyed the Edgar Allen Poe Easter eggs but there should have been more for stories coming from these two great directors.  THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE!! (sobbing).
