IFC Goes Blind For ‘Julia’s Eyes’
Having both Kidnapped and the Human Centipede franchise, IFC Films has been doing a pretty decent job of acquiring movies — but the problem is they acquire a bunch of crappy filler.
One such film is the lackluster Julia’s Eyes, the Guillermo Del Toro-produced giallo-esque horror I caught at last year’s TIFF. While it’s not terrible, it’s definitely a bit long and lacks a punch.
IFC has acquired Guillem Morales’ flick for North America and will open theatrically this coming August — wait for DVD or VOD.
The film tells the story of a woman slowly going blind as she investigates the mysterious death of her twin sister. Inside you’ll find the full synopsis and trailer.
“Julia returns to Bellevue with her husband to visit her sister Sarah, who is near blind due to a degenerative illness for which she has unsuccessfully undergone surgery. When they arrive, Julia finds that Sarah has taken her own life and none of her mysterious neighbors seem to be all that surprised. Julia has to confront not only the loss of her sister, but also the loss of all hope halting her own impending blindness, as she suffers from the same illness and would appear to be destined for the same end as her sister. ”
