Rhinoceros Eyes is a fantastical coming-of-age story revolving around Chep, a young, reclusive prop-house employee who falls in love with a detail-obsessed movie production designer named Fran. Fran's need for authentic props sends Chep to great and questionable lengths as he tries to satisfy her requests, and ultimately... win her heart.

Why it matters

A quietly unsettling dive into obsession and isolation, Rhinoceros Eyes blends psychological dread with offbeat romance in a way that’s both tender and disquieting.

  • A rare indie gem where mood and character study outweigh conventional scares, perfect for fans of slow-burn psychological horror.
  • Tom Guiry’s muted performance as Chep anchors the film’s eerie atmosphere with an authentic sense of social awkwardness and creeping unease.
  • The prop-house setting is more than backdrop—it’s a labyrinthine playground of curiosities that amplifies the film’s themes of identity and control.
  • Not for jump-scare seekers, but those attuned to horror’s quiet anxieties and emotional undercurrents will find a rich, unsettling experience.
