Product Description
The Masters of Modern Horror - George Romero and Dario Argento - bring you an unprecedented pair of shockers inspired by the tales of Edgar Allan Poe. In Romero's The Facts In The Case Of Mr. Valdemar, a conniving wife (Adrienne Barbeau of THE FOG) and her lover use a hypnotic trance to embezzle a fortune from her dying husband, only to receive some chilling surprises from beyond the grave. Then in Argento's The Black Cat, a deranged crime scene photographer (Harvey Keitel of FROM DUSK TILL DAWN) is driven to brutal acts of madness and murder by his girlfriend's new pet. But will this cunning feline deliver a final sickening twist of it's own?Martin Balsam (PSYCHO), E.G. Marshall (CREEPSHOW), John Amos (THE BEASTMASTER) and Tom Atkins (NIGHT OF THE CREEPS) co-star in this wild horror hit that also features grisly makeup effects by Tom Savini (MANIAC). In celebration of it's 30th Anniversary, Blue Underground is proud to present TWO EVIL EYES in a new 4K restoration from it's original camera negative, packed with exclusive new and archival Extras!

- Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2019These new Blue Underground remasters are a thing of beauty. Not only do you get a superb transfer, but you get great features as well.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2020Yes
- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2020I only subtracted a star, bc of the film, I found it kinda disappointing.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2019TWO EVIL EYES: The stories of Edgar Allen Poe seem to lend themselves to modernization and adaptation more so than other classic authors of the supernatural. Likely because Poe’s work largely describes internalized horrors; grief, paranoia and psychosis that stem from demons within rather than demons without. Director George Romero had already proven the anthology format was still viable with the success of Creepshow (1982) so his collaboration with Dario Argento (a reunion of sorts after co-producing Dawn of the Dead) made sense, turning loose two genre filmmakers in a playground of the macabre. It’s obvious Argento was the more enthusiastic of the two. His take on The Black Cat includes several references to other Poe stories and is executed with the sort of visual verve the director hadn’t shown in years. Despite fan disdain, Romero’s adaptation of The Facts in the Case of Mr. Valdemar is a worthwhile attempt, turning the screws on a gold digging wife (Adrienne Barbeau) as she conspires with her aged husband’s doctor to pilfer the family fortune. The result is a hypnotic zombie that, while only a footnote in the Romero mythology, is a classy standalone story nonetheless.
Blue Underground’s 3-disc limited edition continues their streak of phenomenal Blu-ray upgrades. The new 4K restoration adds an astonishing amount of color and detail to what was already a great transfer. Extras, as you might imagine, has also been given an upgrade with seven new interviews, a Troy Howarth commentary, booklet, 3D slipcover and Pino Donaggio soundtrack CD in edition to all the previous goodies. Even Poe would be impressed!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2019Two of the master's of horror films in the same movie, it must be perfect right? No, but it is still very good. Both stories are interesting to say the least, but I would characterize both as slow burns. They each have their strong points, but can take a long time to get anywhere. The gore when it happens is shocking and there are some genuine chills to be had here. Its great to see this flick on high def finally and it should belong in any horror movie fan's collection.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2019I can remember when it was announced that this film was being made back in 1990. To think that directors Dario Argento and George Romero would be tackling Edgar Allan Poe was an idea to be cheered. At first conceived as having more directors with shorter stories the end result found just these two. Fortunately both turn in solid stories that entertain and offer just a touch of fright.
Rather than tackle a single story each director chose one to do on their own. Those two stories were brought together to form this single film. Leading off was Romero with his version of “The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar”. Rather than a literal translation of the story, Romero chose to update it and twist it a bit.
We find 40 something Jessica Valdemar (Adrienne Barbeau) arriving at the downtown Pittsburgh office of her husband Ernest’s (Bingo O’Malley) attorney Mr. Pike (E.G. Marshall). She’s brought her husband’s updated will leaving her his considerable estate. Pike, who has great disdain for Jessica and feels she’s a bad influence on his friend, questions the changes and calls their home to confer with him. Her husband tells him these are the changes he wants and authorizes it though it will take three weeks to go through. Until then he authorizes a smaller sum for her to use.
Returning home Jessica meets with Dr. Robert Hoffman (Ramy Zada), her husband’s physician. But he’s more than that, he’s Jessica’s lover as well. Hoffman has used hypnotism to place Ernest in a trance and had him sign the legal documents Jessica took to the attorney. He also had him speak on the phone while under.
Things take a turn for the worse when Ernest goes into cardiac arrest while under hypnosis. Still weeks from having the money, the couple place his body in the freezer and continue to act as if he’s still alive. It isn’t long before things get stranger. Jessica begins hearing Ernest’s voice coming from the freezer. It seems that while his body died his mind is trapped, caught in the hypnotic world he was placed in. Suddenly a chance for revenge presents itself.
Romero plays all of this in a subtle manner rather than the blatant horror fans came to expect with his zombie films. It runs closer to what he presented with THE DARK HALF and MONKEYSHINES instead. His craftsmanship is apparent and his working with actors in a way that makes them comfortable is apparent. The end result finds his half of the production a creepy success.
On to Argento. Like Romero he tosses aside a literal translation of Poe and updates his tale, “The Black Cat”. Enter Rod Usher (Harvey Keitel), a crime scene photographer on the latest murder. A woman has been sliced in half by a pendulum blade. Usher is a brutish sort, unaffected by the scenes he shoots and the horror they contain. For him it is a job.
Usher returns home to his girlfriend Annabelle (Madeline Potter). Annabelle is the opposite of Usher, a more emotional person in touch with the world that surrounds her, more sensitive and mystical. A professional violinist she talks of witches and spells, a far cry from Usher’s gritty life on the streets attitude. Annabelle has brought home a cat that she adores but that Usher hates and despises. As the days pass his hatred for the animal grows. Eventually he strangles the cat while photographing himself in the act, later telling Annabelle that she must have run off.
Fighting with Annabelle and drinking heavily, Usher is unnerved when the barmaid at his local watering hole presents him with a cat to take home, one with the exact same markings as the cat he killed. While this is taking place Annabelle has found a new book of photos released by Usher that contains the phots of the first cat being killed. When they meet at home, a drunken Usher argue with Annabelle and threatens to kill the new cat. When she steps in to intervene, he kills Annabelle by accident.
To avoid being sent to prison, Usher hides Annabelle’s body in the wall of their apartment. But suspicious neighbors and co-workers lead detectives to investigate Annabelle’s disappearance. And if you know Poe you know what to expect next.
This portion of the film is once again well done on both creative and technical levels. More than that the story presentation seems more straight forward than most films made by Argento. While combining various Poe stories and characters he captures the essence of Poe here and does it well.
The end result of this collaboration is a solid horror film from both masters but two films that don’t terrify as much as one would expect. Instead their horror is more along the lines of a slow burn, a tale told that will bring images to mind but not cause you to jump from your chair. Those kind of films, as presented here, offer solid horror.
When the film was released it surprisingly didn’t fare well at the box office. It did do solid business on VHS and later disc. Now Blue Underground is releasing it again with a new 4K Restoration from the uncensored original camera negative as well as a slew of extras. Those include a new audio commentary track by Troy Howarth, the theatrical trailer, poster and still galleries, TWO MASTER’ EYES with interviews with Argento, Romero, special make-up effects supervisor Tom Savini, executive producer Claudio Argento and Asia Argento, SAVINI’S EFX a behind the scenes look at the movies effects, AT HOME WITH SAVINI a personal tour of Savini’s home, Adrienne Barbeau on George Romero, BEFORE I WAKE an interview with Ramy Zada, BEHIND THE WALL an interview with Madeline Potter, ONE MAESTRO AND TWO MASTERS an interview with composer Pino Donaggio, REWRITING POE an interview with co-writer Franco Ferrini, THE CAT WHO WOULDN’T DIE an interview with assistant director Luigi Cozzi, TWO EVIL BROTHERS an interview with special make-up assistant Everett Burrell, WORKING WITH GEORGE an interview with costume designer Barbara Anderson, a collectable booklet with a new essay by Michael Gingold and with this release the original motion picture soundtrack by Pino Donnagio on CD.
While this movie might be in your collection already it won’t be the same as is offered here. With the best presentation possible as well as that vast collection of extras this is the one to have. And kudos to Blue Underground for bringing it all together for fans of both directors.
