"First of all, this film looks great. Superb picture. The story and acting is pretty solid as well. I wish we hot more deaths than just a few. One is actually brutal, but we only see the aftermath. There are some kinky scenes, but they're fairly tame compared to releases out of this era. This is worth owning. Great slipcover too!"
"Decent Swedish giallo with a fair amount of extras. It probably could have been thrown in one of the Forgotten Giallo sets, but whatever. I love the artwork on the slipcover and inlay and you get a fair amount of extras."
"This was such a fun horror romp. So much sleaze and huge nods to the Swedisg sex films from the late 60s early 70s but with a some great horror sequences. A great pickup for me. Totally looked like an Italian gallon. Picture quality was fantastic. A great purchase!"
"I watched this once and sold it, but trying to write about it only a month later I genuinely can't remember much about it! I do recall it being a bit of a mish-mash of genres and being a bit messy, but not a lot more than that. Well presented as always and it has a lovely slipcover too. If you're in to all the Swedish releases from this label then I'm sure there's plenty for you here, it just wasn't all that memorable for me personally!"
"Fear Has 1000 Eyes (1970), directed by Torgny Wickman, follows a priest and his emotionally fragile wife who hire a live‑in companion—unaware she is a witch bound by a pact with the devil. This premise is confirmed in multiple sources, which describe the film as a blend of psychological horror and occult melodrama."
"This film has a very strange feel to it and it wasn't a fun watch, but still a pretty intriguing one! The peerless VS restoration transfer process was on full display with stellar sound and picture! Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!"
"Fear Has 1,000 Eyes is a strange, low-budget thriller that leans more on atmosphere and unease than straightforward storytelling. The film has a dreamlike, almost disorienting quality that makes it feel unpredictable from scene to scene. It’s definitely rough around the edges, but that odd, off-kilter tone gives it a certain cult appeal for fans of obscure cinema."
"Apparently the only Swedish erotic horror movie ever made, this is a fun one. I wasn't familiar with the lead, but I should have been. She appears in Thriller among several other movies I've seen, but as someone pointed out, next to Christina Lindberg everyone fades into the background. There's a good documentary on her, her screentest, and an entertaining commentary. Kind of a mix of supernatural implied horror a la Rosemary's Baby, with a stalker enemy in our midst type domestic thriller. An extremely dangerous looking finale fortunately resulted in no injuries. I loved this one. A great package all around. Highly recommended."
"A wonderful little gem with sleaze sex and magic Voodoo with tons of nudity a great find to me and that was a blind buy for me ,the transfer is great the packing and artwork is great as I missed the slip I love Melusine and this delirium label although this not a delirium release, if you love sex supernatural Voodoo and orgy and a sleazy story your know what you getting yourself into it's a great films 😎 thumb"
"Fear Has 1,000 Eyes is a tense psychological thriller that relies more on paranoia and atmosphere than outright action. The film slowly builds unease through suspicion and uncertainty, which gives it a classic slow-burn feel that works well if you enjoy character-driven suspense. The restoration on this release is impressive. The transfer looks clean and stable, with strong contrast and good detail that help preserve the film’s moody visual style without losing its original texture. As a pickup, this is an easy recommendation for fans of vintage thrillers and overlooked genre films. It’s the kind of title that benefits greatly from boutique restoration work and feels rewarding to discover. Overall, this is a strong presentation of a suspenseful and underseen thriller with excellent atmosphere."
