Behind Your Eyes (2011)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Best movie ever!

The acting in this movie is really good.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This is a garbage film. Even so, I would rather watch this pile of garbage than Saw II, and Saw III that I watched this week. As others mentioned the female lead and the original kidnapper were decent, not great. The boyfriend, his mother and father are pure Z grade garbage. The story, dialogue, and all the crappy twists are all garbage.The cinematography, editing and music was competent. Not great but workable. Daniel Fanaberia wrote the story and he performed as the kidnapper. His story sucks. I hope he has better stories.I watched it because I got it in a set of 10 movies for $5 and I finished watching it to see how this mess would end. The only way I made it through the end is because I was distracted by playing guitar while watching. If the filmmakers had a decent story/dialogue the actors could have handled this project, and it would have turned into a C rating for a B movie. And a better story would have been a B rating for a B movie. And if it had some genuine original and twisted scenes with higher caliber actors, cinematographers and music, we would be in the realm of an A rating for a B movie. However, what we have here is basically a bunch of guys who technically can produce a project, but starting with a fairly crappy, bottom of barrel story, the final result is garbage. Not worth seeing. Unfortunately, there is nothing of value here. Except what not to do in movies.Here's a novel idea: Start with a decent story, rewrite it into a suspenseful screenplay with some thought provoking intense dialogue. Then start procuring funding to hire actors, crew, renting equipment, scouting locations, and etc to produce a film.Rating is a F, for a B movie. 1 star.

Spoiler. Tom sandoval and Kristen from Vanderpump rules are in this. Krstens part is so small I'm not sure how the previous viewer could say she was a great " actor". I saw this a few years ago and recognized the then couple right away. As for the movie.. I thought it was pretty good. Considering the so called "horror" on todays market. Tom was pretty good. After seeing him on the reality show I was surprised he pulled of such a character. it's worth a watch. especially if you're a fan of Tom and Kristen.

I can't agree with the review below that completely and almost intentionally trashes this film. Saw this at the Las Vegas Film Festival this year and had a great time with it. Yes, the killer is certainly foreshadowed, but the film makes you second guess this in and out, which was part of its charm. You think you know what's going on, then again you begin to hesitate, which only keeps your attention and puts your mind into overdrive. The twists and complete character reversals add to the magic in this film which makes you like it more as the film progresses. Very reminiscent of some of those older 70's films like "Open Season."Great writing, acting, cinematography and production all come together and deliver a fantastic storytelling experience that keeps your eyes glued to the screen. While no film is perfect and all come with their own faults, this one pulls it off "right!" Cast and crew should be very proud of this one.

I screen movies for a local film festival, and attend several festivals a year, and I honestly have not seen a worse film. I saw this at the Las Vegas Film Festival. I can't complain about the camera work or scoring, but the acting and dialog were terrible. It was obvious who the villain was immediately just by his actions, so to me there were no plot twists. I felt no empathy with any of the characters because they were so one dimensional. The Mother and Father characters were so over-acted that they became funny. There were people laughing in the audience, and it is NOT a funny movie. It reminded me of The Room - a movie made in all sincerity to be serious, and actually becomes funny because it is done so badly.
