Glass Eye Pix (“one of the indie scene’s most productive and longest-running companies” —Filmmaker Magazine) is the fierce independent NYC-based production outfit headed by art-horror auteur Larry Fessenden (BLACKOUT, DEPRAVED, BENEATH, ABC’s of DEATH 2, NBC’s Fear Itself episode “SKIN AND BONES,” THE LAST WINTER, WENDIGO, HABIT, NO TELLING). Glass Eye Pix is responsible for narrative films, documentaries, books, comics, audio plays, and other unique work designed to inspire and contrast with corporate media. Fessenden (winner of the Someone to Watch Spirit Award) has operated the company since 1985, with the mission of supporting individual voices in the arts.

The Horrific Story inspired by true Events...

Ti West's Trigger Man leads the charge in a new wave of stripped-down, scary movies fueled by seat-of-the-pants filmmaking ingenuity.

Reggie, Sean, and Ray leave Manhattan for a day trip of deer hunting in Delaware, expecting to drink a few beers in the woods free of the city-life responsibilities that are slowly forcing the childhood friends apart. But with one well-aimed shot, a walk in the sun is transformed into a frantic and desperate fight for survival, as Trigger Man morphs from a character-driven rural amble into a ""smartly compact and radical survival thriller (Variety). Writer, director, and editor Ti West (The Roost, Cabin Fever II) expertly exploits audience expectations, using minimalist handheld photography to relentlessly build tension to "a genuinely terrifying payoff" (New York Sun).

Reviews

Ti Wests second feature

"Had to get this as I love his films. Not as perfect as his later films, but it has the same kind of nerve and drive. Highly recommended"

— Hansi L. (5/5)

masterclass in slow-burn tension

"A total masterclass in slow-burn tension. Ti West builds so much dread with just a handheld camera and some woods. The restoration looks surprisingly great for a lo-fi indie movie, and the new commentary tracks with West and Larry Fessenden are a blast. Definitely grab this if you love minimalist thrillers."

— Pablo R. (4/5)

Early West

"Trigger Man is a stripped-down survival thriller that builds tension through long stretches of quiet and uncertainty. Ti West takes a minimalist approach, letting the sound design and pacing do most of the work. It’s a slow burn, but the realism and creeping dread make it a gripping watch for patient viewers."

— Shawn M. (3/5)

BAM!

"Ti West's second feature film gets a Blu-ray release that's also packed with informative special features!"

— Thomas P. (5/5)

This One Was Fun To Watch

"This thriller was a very good effort on what was obviously show on a lower budget. It was never-the-less a very engaging flick that kept me very interested from beginning to end. The peerless VS restoration 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!"

— Paul K. (5/5)

It is Ti West, baby.

"Another fun transfer from one of Ti West's earlier works. It may be one of his weakest works. And one of his more basic and simple movies. But it is a worth adding to the collection."

— ivan M. (5/5)

Low Budget Thriller

"This is an early Ti West film. I had seen all of his movies from The House Of The Devil on. This was a low budget effective thriller. You can see the talent he has for direction in this early release. The tension in this one is great for basically three dudes hunting in the woods. Highly recommend this one."

— Nathan L. (5/5)

— Patrick J. (5/5)
