Eyes on Me poster

A short pinku that obediently sticks to genre conventions, but constructs an entirely different film in between. It's an interesting playground for beginning directors who fail to fund their original ideas, but in the end, this felt like two different films wedged into a single 60 minutes.

Read all

After his wife passed away, Yukio turns paranoid. He believes he is being watched, and the feeling gets stronger and more intense with every passing day. Before her death, Yukio found out that his wife was having an affair, and he used to watch her being unfaithful. His shrink believes this is related to Yukio's paranoia.

So the unfaithful wife part covers the pinku part of the story, but the meat of the film is Yukio's paranoia and the mystery surrounding his wife's death. That part is pretty competently made and it would've been nice if they could've expanded it into a separate feature, but alas. At only an hour long, this wasn't too bad though.
