Crystal Eyes
Directed by Ezequiel Endelman, Leandro Montejano
It's the first anniversary of the death of Alexis Carpenter, the unstable supermodel who died tragically when she was set on fire while closing a runaway show. Lucia L'uccello - Editor-in-Chief of the most important magazine in Buenos Aires - chooses supermodels Eva Lantier and Irene del Lago to honor Alexis on the cover of the anniversary issues dedicated to the famous model. The night before the photo shoot, Alexis's original dresses that were going to be used by the models are stolen. From that moment, members of the important fashion magazine and the agency begin to disappear, one by one, at the hands of a stealthy, sinister female silhouette in a long black leather raincoat.

This movie was more than what I expected. It was well executed, had outstanding acting and had a very well produced 80s soundtrack. It felt like a true 80s Horror film!
You can really tell there has been a lot of thought, time and effort put into the making of this film. The image and sound quality, cinematography, music, editing, text font, acting style and practical effects were executed perfectly to make this film feel like it was made in the 80's. The story its self is very basic but the artistry involved makes the movie a fantastic tribute to 80's film making and therefore it is enjoyable to watch. There are just a couple of things that I feel would have made this film even better. First I would have liked to have seen the models make a much bigger thing about Alexis's drug and alcohol problems to her face at the beginning. This would have allowed a bigger build up to happen, making her reaction to their judgements more reasonable. Therefore her motives and need for revenge would have been much stronger and more justified. I also would have loved to have seen the directors play more with stillness, which they did a little with the mannequin but they could have really lent into that more. That would have added a lot more suspense, making the Alexis mannequin more creepy and unsettling. Her movements weren't natural but I think they could have again played with that more as her movements felt too human like for me. That also would have created a more powerful ending too. This is a good film and I am very pleased I watched it.
the only scary thing about this film is Nadia and Nidia
Beautifully executed!
Somewhat mixed feelings, but well worth a watch for some of the great visuals. Way better than a lot of 80's style films, and the Neo-Giallo style worked well.
