The Hollywood mediocrity machine seems to be influencing indie films as well. This is the case with Behind Your Eyes, an average indie thriller. Cliches abound. This titled was released on DVD by Osiris Entertainment March 20th and Behind Your Eyes has won the "Special Jury Prize" at the Las Vegas film Festival and "Best Feature" at the Canadian International Film Festival. However, the film failed to impress one reviewer here at 28Dla. Clint Lien's thriller struggles through the first thirty minutes. Mystery cannot really be created from lack of dialogue.

It is my pleasure, and honor to tell you… the Wamg family… that Behind Your Eyes has been officially selected to be featured at the 2011 Canada International Film Festival. Not only is is an official selection, but this will be the first public screening of the film.
You may be asking yourself why it is my pleasure to share this with you. Well, two of the films stars, who have worked very hard on this project happen to be friends of mine. This is not a Melissa “bragging” moment. Instead, this is a “Melissa is very proud of Tom Sandoval and Kristen Doute for all of your hard work, and I want to shout it from the rooftops… or this internet page!” kind of post.

This writer got a sneak peek during a private screening held earlier this week at the ‘W’ Hotel in Hollywood, CA, of director Clint Lien's psycho-thriller Behind Your Eyes, and while this won't be a full-fledged review as the film is in the final stages of color correction and editing, we have been covering the production from the beginning (see our set report from this past January here) so here’s a brief tease.
Vesuvio Entertainment's Behind Your Eyes is full of red herrings, and while donning the outfit of a slasher film, it reveals itself by minute twenty-one to be something much more. Writer and actor Daniel Fanaberia delivers not only a compelling script but also a commanding performance, and not unlike the lead in last year's The Collector (actor Josh Stewart), he paints a multi-layered cinematic canvas of a complicated man battling his own demons, who finds...

Vesuvio Entertainment CEO Greg Sims got in touch with Dread from the Cannes Film Market last night, where he unveiled and commenced foreign sales for his psycho-thriller feature Behind Your Eyes (see our exclusive set visit to that production from this last February here).
Starring Swedish actress Frida (Contract Killers) Farrell, Tom (Puppet Master: Axis of Evil) Sandoval, and Daniel Fanaberia (pictured below at Cannes with Sims), Behind Your Eyes marks Vesuvio’s first collaboration with director Clint Lien and Fanaberia, who also scripted the flick, and stands as the Century City, CA-based company’s first feature in a multi-picture slate.
“I would say that this is the best of a contemporary twist on Psycho,” Sims tells us of Behind Your Eyes. “It’s about people not being who you think they are, and it’s about an idyllic couple that go away to meet the parents, and everybody turns...

It’s January 15, 2010, when this scribe arrives to the snowy set of executive producer Greg. H Sims’ psycho-thriller Behind Your Eyes. Shooting for 14 days on location in Lake Arrowhead, CA (with additional days in and around the nearby environs of Los Angeles) and written by Daniel Fanaberia, the flick revolves around ‘A couple. A kidnapping. A secret. A weekend to meet the parents becomes a weekend of trying to stay alive for perfect Steven and Erika’ (according to the production’s PR).
The film stars Tom (Puppetmaster: Axis of Evil) Sandoval and Swedish actress Frida Farrell as the unlucky duo. Writer Fanaberia and actors Remy O’Neil, Lisa R. Segal, and Arthur Roberts round out the film’s cast.
The first in-house feature for new production and distribution entity Vesuvio Entertainment Corporation, of which Sims is CEO, Behind Your Eyes is being helmed by Clint Lien (he previously worked as...

Following up on our news item last week regarding executive producer Greg H. Sims’ home-invasion thriller Behind Your Eyes, this scribe contacted Sims to get the 411 on the Southern California-shooting production. Written by Daniel Fanaberia and directed by Clint Lien, Behind Your Eyes is the first in-house feature for new production and distribution entity Vesuvio Entertainment Corporation, of which Sims is CEO (not Tri Coast as originally reported).
Writer and actor Fanaberia (who was brought to Sims’ attention by his turn in The Carpenter Part One: And So They Die, an indie film which Vesuvio has picked up for distribution and for sequels) pitched Behind Your Eyes to Sims in the fall of ’09. In an insanely quick turnaround, Sims attached director Lien, and Behind Your Eyes went before the cameras earlier this month.
"It's certainly the fastest turnaround from pitch to production that I've ever been involved with," said Sims...

The home invasion thriller with a twist, Behind Your Eyes, has finally landed itself a director to bring this captive tale of terror to life.
According to Bloody Disgusting Clint Lien will be stepping behind the camera and working from a screenplay by Daniel Fanaberia.
Details are still on the scant side at the moment. Sadly, all we've been able to dig up on the flick at this time is this log line:
"A young couple on a weekend trip to meet family are kidnapped and held prisoner by a psychopath until one of them escapes."
Behind Your Eyes is being produced by by TriCoast Studios (The Cellar Door), and casting is now under way in La. Keep it here for more as it comes.
