4.0 out of 5 stars Watch it till the end, September 29, 2008

By	Irving Washington "Sam" (Florida, MO USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this movie on a whim and instantly regretted it as soon as it started. It looks like it was filmed with a home video camera, the music, especially during the opening and closing was horrible, and the girls talking back and forth during the start of the movie was some of the worst acting I've seen (and I've seen several no-budget horror movies).

I continued watching as I had nothing better to do...as things picked up I found myself getting pulled more and more into the story, and the longer I watched the more I realized that, bad acting and lousy camera work aside, the plot was actually very disturbing, sick, and frighteningly realistic.

While the beginning of the movie had me thinking "cheap project for film class", the ending had me recalling such controversial classics as Last House on the Left and I Spit on Your Grave and even modern "torture porn" such as Hostel. The actresses (other than the villain who did a wonderful job of playing the completely insane stranger) could use some serious acting lessons, and the director could use some quality film making equipment, but the twisted, sick, and brutal story is there, and if your willing to overlook it's flaws, this is one great horror flick.

1.0 out of 5 stars The title is the only thing interesting about this film, September 30, 2008

By	C. Lockwood (Western, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

So far this film has gotten positive reviews from everyone. One amazon reviewer stated that this movie was only for the HARDCORE. I would love to know exactly what that means, but for now we will just stick with my take on it.

Horror fans like myself go into films and come out 70% of the time disappointed. Five Across Eyes is in that 70% category. The only reason this even gets a one star rating was because they had good gore ideas. An example being one of the girls becomes so scarred in the van they were driving in, that she had an accident. To try and stop the maniac who was running them off the road they threw the feces at her windshield. The biggest problem with that scene was it was really hard to understand what she threw because to many things were happening at once. The acting was atrocious. The camera work was like they were sitting on top of an earth quake the whole time they were filming. Honestly I have taped better home videos. And the script seemed like it was written by the five teenage girls in the van. Now because the film was written and directed by a no name it gets high appraise. If it were directed by someone of the highest caliber, it would instantly be thrown in garbage. Why is it that we base our opinion on who wrote, directed, and starred in it? We should base our opinions soley on how good the film was no matter who was responsible for making it.

Five Across Eyes starts out with five teenage girls driving home from a high school football game. Lo and behold they try to take a short cut on the back roads of Tennessee, which the locals call " The Eyes" only to get lost in the process. We didn't see that one coming did we? They stop at a gas station to get directions. When going to drive away they hit a parked SUV. Panicking about not wanting to get in trouble by the girl who was drivings parents they decided to drive away. A few minutes later the Suv with a psychotic woman behind the wheel starts trying to run the girls off the road. The things she does to the teens are revolting and very disturbing. We never find out why the woman is so crazy or where she comes from. Which I could have handle if the movie was good and made a little more sense.

A lot of the film does not add up in the end or make much sense. To point out any of those things would ruin it for those individuals who are willing to watch this. I highly recommend leaving this one on the shelf. The people who do end up watching it, GOOD LUCK.

1.0 out of 5 stars The biggest waste of an hour & a half of my life., November 1, 2009

By	Joseph Barrett - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I heard good things about this movie on various horror forums so when there was a great deal on the dvd I jumped. As a previous reviewer mentioned, the beginning is unbearable. The lousy acting (if that's what you want to call it) and amateur camera work was beyond unbelievable. The girls were so annoying I wished there characters would hurry up and die. I seemed like the film was directed by ditsy high school girls who also decided to star in it. Yes that bad!!!
But I disagree with the same reviewer who said the film got better. For me it continued to be horrible in every aspect. I was truly baffled at how bad it was. I've come to the conclusion that those who gave this good reviews must be younger fans of the genre who have a much different view than us who are older.

I've rated this 1 star only because it wouldn't allow me to leave none.
