Returning to the Midnight Madness portion of the Toronto International Film Festival is Almost Human director Joe Begos, who’s becoming one of my new favorite directors/people.
His sophomore effort, The Mind’s Eye, described as a violent telekinetic revenge thriller set in snowy 1990 New England, will have its World Premiere at the fest.
It follows a drifter with telekinetic abilities who targets a doctor who is creating a synthetic telekinetic power serum.
The Mind’s Eye stars Graham Skipper (from Begos’ feature directorial debut Almost Human), Lauren Ashley Carter (Pod), John Speredakos, Noah Segan (Looper), Matt Mercer, Larry Fessenden, and Jeremy Gardner.
Begos introduced many of the cast through his Twitter page, sharing a series of new images from the psychokinetic thriller that filmed earlier this year in Rhode Island
“The Mind’s Eye is about Zack Connors (Graham Skipper), whose abilities have kept him off the grid for years until he’s recruited by the mysterious Dr. Slovak. The snowy New England landscape turns into a whirlwind of psychic rage, flying axes, and brutal revenge as Zack does everything in his power to stop Dr. Slovak’s deadly descent into synthetically engineered telekinetic madness.”
