Eye of the Devil (1966)
Deborah Kerr and David Niven, in their fourth screen pairing, play husband and wife. They have a beautiful home, lots of friends, and two young children—but something’s amiss. Deborah can sense it, but she never suspects her husband is involved in a generations-deep Satanic cult! Joined by Donald Pleasence, David Hemmings, and Sharon Tate, the cult isn’t going to let Deborah and her children take David Niven away from them. . .
Surprisingly, given the title and the premise, Eye of the Devil isn’t particularly scary. There are some spooky situations, but there are no gags planted to make the audience jump, and there’s no gore. It makes one wonder, what was the purpose of the film? People who don’t like scary movies probably won’t want to watch it, and people who like to be frightened out of their pants will probably be disappointed.
If you’re like me and prefer the “treat” to the “trick” in Halloween, this one will be safe for you to rent. The acting’s as good as you’d expect from a horror movie, and at least you’ll get to see two veteran actors trying out a new genre. But if you’re looking for a really scary Devil-worshipping flick, keep looking.
