10/10
Five Across The Eyes is a remarkable achievement
11 September 2007
This movie is 91 minutes of real terror. There are no elaborate contraptions, or reasons given for why these five girls are put through this hell. They simply run into the wrong person and spend the rest of the film fighting for their lives trying to get away.

The climax is a classic. A simple and inevitable conclusion that is as realistic as it is depressing. The horrors that happen in this film have a weight to them that you feel--and see on the character's faces. Simply remarkable for a debut feature for all involved.

The film has a nitty gritty video look that some may say is BLAIR WITCHy but that comparison is strange. This is not a documentary. The camera shows the events as they unfold, but no character speaks to it.

The filmmakers have crafted an electrifying experience for fans of extreme cinema, and one I strongly suggest you check out when it is released in your country.
