In this new restoration of the seminal 1980s folk horror gem, a rogue 18th century preacher and his followers attempt to establish a settlement beyond the western frontier. But when they encounter a not-so-enchanted forest filled with evil spirits, the group exchanges happiness for apocalyptic madness. EYES OF FIRE is a dreamlike hallucination that combines arthouse surrealism, gonzo creature effects, and ambitious symbolism to build a truly haunting experience. Fans of THE WITCH take note. Highly recommended.

The bitter relationship between miniaturist Annie Graham (Toni Collette) and her eccentric mother had long tainted the life she built with her husband (Gabriel Byrne) and teenage kids (Alex Wolff, Milly Shapiro), and she hoped that the old woman's passing would let her move on. However, as the Grahams become enveloped in horrifying tragedy and eerie happenings, their true family legacy comes to unholy light. Ari Aster’s debut feature HEREDITARY has been rightfully acknowledged as a modern classic and perhaps an almost perfect horror film.
