Eyes of Fire [Blu-ray]

The Eyes of Fire Blu-ray presents the worldwide disc premiere of Avery Crounse’s long-lost American folk horror landmark, restored from the original negative in 4K. Released in 1983 and misunderstood for decades, the film follows an exiled frontier preacher, his followers and an accused witch as they journey into an isolated valley where supernatural forces, pagan retribution and creeping madness take hold. Blending early American frontier myth with hallucinatory imagery, Eyes of Fire stands as a formative entry in folk horror history. This edition includes the alternate answer-print cut Crying Blue Sky and over two hours of newly restored archival material.
