The movie "The Eyes of my Mother" has received good review and feedback from both moviegoers and strict movie critics as it was released back in Dec. Though this was only limited release, it is expected to be in more theaters as it is considered one of the best horror flicks 2016 has ever seen.
Sure, it may not be as commercialized and popular as "The Conjuring 2" which was shown earlier in 2016, but it does bring a different form of fright and scare. It may not have the bone-chilling and fist-clinching scenes that "The Conjuring 2" has but has a different attack.
The movie "The Eyes of my Mother" is first and foremost shot entirely black and white. The movie is supposed to depict the 50s or 60s era so the black and white effect made it more realistic. The gore and blood were present but only after surgery and gruesome activities were executed. This can make the squeamish relax a bit.
According to Movie Insider, the movie revolves around the story of Francisca, who lives secluded in their farmhouse. She was taught by her mother, a former surgeon from Portugal information about the human anatomy so she can be unfazed by death.
