- TV & Film
While on hiatus, we recorded a series of conversations that were never published. Now that life has calmed down, we plan to edit these conversations for release as VINTAGE episodes, outside of our normal programming.
In this episode, we explore the uncharted New Mexico desert, home to many hills with many eyes. This early Wes Craven flick is clearly inspired by the success of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Craven's own Last House on the Left. The titular eyes belong to a family that lives primitively, practicing cannibalism and communicating via walkie-talkies. Watch as a "normal American family" grows increasingly desperate in their fight to survive. Trigger warning: there's a burning, cactus crucifixion. Just in case that's at the root of your trauma.
