Plot:
Inspired by the 1850s tale of the Saddleworth Witch. A young woman returns to her father’s country house on the moors, following his mysterious death and discovers a cursed amulet, connected to local witchcraft. She discovers the amulet has dark powers and will grant you your greatest wish, but in return, she unlocks two deadly demons, who haunt her…
Reviews:
“Between the creepy visuals; a soundtrack that combines eerie music, snarling dogs and crying babies; and a left-field plot twist in the final third, Demon Eye really piles on the fear, spiralling, nay crescendoing, into an insanely terrifying haunted-house thrill ride that left this jaded horror fan completely satisfied.” 4/5 Nerdly
” …might have worked if [writer/director Ryan Simons] made the leads likable, and not have them acting totally illogically. But as it stands Demon Eye is just a load of cliché scares happening to people we don’t give a damn about.” Voices from the Balcony

Demon Eye premiered at the Fantasporto Fantastic Film Festival in Portugal on 26th February 2019.
