American tourists Cass and Gav are backpacking their way across the Balkans. Shortly after crashing a wedding, they run into a mysterious Slav who goes by “Saint Peter.” Offering to give them an authentic tour of the region, the young couple take him up on the proposal, but soon fall prey to Saint Peter’s increasingly strange and manipulative behaviors, culminating with Gav’s sudden disappearance. Desperate to find him, and confident that Saint Peter is somehow connected to his vanishing, Cass is pulled deeper and deeper into a sinister web of violence as she comes to realize Saint Peter’s terrifying true intentions.
The feature film directing debut of Austin Jennings (Shudder’s The Last Drive-In With Joe Bob Briggs), EIGHT EYES fuses a paranoid thriller through late period Euro horror aesthetics. Photographed on 16mm and Super 8mm, entirely on location in Serbia and Macedonia, and starring rising scream queen Emily Sweet (VHS ‘99) alongside a commanding debut performance from Bruno Veljanovski as Saint Peter, and featuring grisly gore effects by Miroslav Lakobrija (A Serbian Film) along with a nightmarish score composed by Devon Goldberg and performed by Morricone Youth, Vinegar Syndrome Pictures is proud to present the blu-ray debut of our first entirely original production.

"Great artwork and packaging. Picture quality may not be up to people's standards largely due to its cinematographic process and creative intent but this release is good for conveying what the creators wanted."
"Has some unique imagery, a bit of gore, and some nice 16mm photography but this was mixed at best"
"I love this Eastern European style of bizarre horror. Great release and well packaged"
"Part Hostel, part Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and part bizarre neon horror. Eight Eyes might not quite fully come together in the end, and might be an offender of style over substance. But dang, it was still a pretty cool movie."
"Brooding atmosphere and great gore fx for VS first feature production. Shot entirely on 16mm and super 8. Great box art slipcover design. Definitely worth the purchase"
"I was pleasantly surprised with this flick. It’s Texas Chain Saw Massacre meets Hostel. Excellent gore! And the packaging and extras are outstanding. Highly recommended!"
"Alot better than I expected! Definitely worth getting!"
"I do dig some of these modern indie flicks and I think people will get nostalgic for them in years time. This one is worth getting. The packaging lush too."
"Pretty impressed with this one. Quite tense and dark. Definitely had elements of Hostel but offered much more depth. Really cool surreal moments elevated it for me. Worth a watch"
"Really cool film and the slipcase is nice."
