White of the Eye (1987)

White of the Eye (1987, GBR) C-111m. *** D: Donald Cammell. Starring David Keith, Cathy Moriarty, Art Evans, Alan Rosenberg, China Cammell (Kong). Disturbing psycho drama about sound expert Keith, who's the prime suspect in the hunt for a serial killer. His frequent headaches and black-outs frighten his wife Moriarty, and there's a daughter to protect, too. Largely unconventional, strikingly directed character study from the director of PERFORMANCE (1970) and the brilliant DEMON SEED (1977). Difficult to watch, but strong performances, unusual technique will keep you posted. If it wasn't for the oppressiveness of the picture, this would be a stand-out film of the mid-80s. Cammell wrote the screenplay with his wife China.
