Eyeball (1975)

Played with a straight face, Umberto Lenzi’s Giallo EYEBALL is a hoot of a film. It actually takes the subject matter seriously which makes it all the more fun. It’s terribly made and what’s worse is the corny music theme that is played throughout. The film deals with a group of tourists who begin getting brutally knocked off by a garbage bag wearing killer. Oh, and the killer also has a fetish for cutting out people’s eyeballs. Sound cool? Well, it’s pretty damn funny but much of the film (when people aren’t dyin’) is pretty slow and makes it quite a chore to finish. If you’re a lover of bad B-movies you might get a kick out of this, others will be appalled by the absolutely cheesy intro.
