FIVE ACROSS THE EYES, the grittiest, grainiest and most raw looking horror of 2008 is available to buy and rent on DVD from MAY 5th 2008. From debut filmmakers Greg Swinson and Ryan Thiessen, who are being touted as the horror directors of the future*, FIVE ACROSS THE EYES will entertain and petrify all thriller and horror film fans! Five hot young teenagers become hopelessly lost as they head home from a high school football game. Stopping to ask for directions, the girls become involved in a minor accident with another vehicle. Inexperienced and frightened, the girls flee the scene, speeding away down the dark and unfamiliar roads. As they blindly make their way through the area the locals call THE EYES, the girls are petrified as they see a lone headlight appearing rapidly behind them. As the driver begins one terrifying assault after another, the five girls will lose their innocence and quite possibly their lives in this brutal and shocking thrill ride.
Shot solely from the inside of the girl’s vehicle, the shooting style of this film means that you are placed right in the middle of the scares. It makes you feel like you are the sixth passenger in the car and offers you no respite from the harrowing chase.
Available to buy and rent on DVD from MAY 5th 2008, FIVE ACROSS THE EYES is the must have horror film for all discerning fans of this genre!
