The Eyes of My Mother
Rendered in rich black and white—a stylistic decision that not only looks gorgeous but makes its freaky tale feel even more off-kilter—the 2016 debut film from writer-director Nicolas Pesce (2020’s The Grudge) introduces us to Francesca (Kika Magalhães), who endures her mother’s murder as a child then grows up to create an atmosphere of horror on her family’s isolated farm.
