5.0 / 10 · TMDB

The German police cannot solve the mystery of the seven murders which have alarmed the local villagers. They call in Inspector Doren of Interpol, and the only clue the Chief Constable can give the detective is the fact that, each time a murder was committed, the electric lights in the whole neighborhood went out. The locals believe that the killings of the young girls are linked to the vague shadows in the caves under the local castle and to the mysterious Curse of the Green Eyes.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its eerie tension by pitting Interpol's methodical investigation against deep-rooted village folklore. It explores the unsettling space where rational clues intersect with supernatural dread, effectively using sudden blackouts as a primal trigger for fear.

What lingers after the final frame is the chilling ambiguity of the curse itself. The resolution satisfies the detective plot while leaving a shadow of doubt about the ancient forces at play. — MovieFinder Editorial
