Two Evil Eyes
Due occhi diabolici
A duo of Edgar Allan Poe adaptations about a greedy wife's attempt to embezzle her dying husband's fortune, and a sleazy reporter's adoption of a strange black cat.
Why it matters
Two Evil Eyes delivers a moody dive into Poe’s twisted psyche through two stylized tales of greed and madness, framed by the hands of horror auteurs.
- Directed by George A. Romero and Dario Argento, it’s a rare double feature pairing two horror heavyweights riffing on classic literature.
- The gothic atmosphere leans into shadow and color, with Argento’s signature operatic flair and Romero’s grounded dread.
- Practical effects and surreal imagery evoke the creeping unease Poe’s work demands, even if the pacing occasionally stalls.
- Ideal for fans of anthology formats, literary horror, and those craving a late-career curiosity from two genre legends.
