Veteran music video director Colin Tilley (who has directed videos for Kendrick Lamar, Zendaya, and Megan Thee Stallion) makes the leap into the horror genre with Eye for an Eye.
Adapted from a graphic novel called Mr. Sandman, Eye for an Eye infuses classic elements of small-town horror with the visual flourishes and story elements of a gothic fairy tale.
Eye for an Eye follows Anna (Whitney Peak), who moves from New York to a small-town Florida to live with the grandmother (S. Epatha Merkerson) following the sudden death of her parents. Feeling isolated, she falls in with some rough teenage locals (Finn Bennett and Laken Giles) and becomes a bystander to an unforgivable act of violence.
She soon finds herself ensnared by the twisted soul of a tormented child from the town’s past, “Mr. Sandman,” who feasts on the eyeballs of his victims. The more she learns about Mr. Sandman, the more she learns about the truth of her own family.
