I took a chance on this as it was (a) billed as an 80s slasher, and (b) in a shop display with other Arrow blu-ray releases such as Argento's brutal classic TENEBRAE, and the awesomely inept bucket of winning failure that is CONTAMINATION.
White Of The Eye is a completely different sort of 80s slasher though - in fact not really a slasher at all, more like a very laid back, slow paced drama. The acting's good, the direction is solid, the script is fine - but so what. The atmosphere of vaguely quirky characters in small-town Americana almost made it feel like a Coen Bros film, but with zero laughs. It was too low-key, slow paced and talky to actually maintain my interest, and I gave up after about an hour. Not a 'bad' film, just not my particular cup of cinema...
