Hardcore Poisoned Eyes

Three girlfriends descend upon a remote cabin for an idyllic, weekend getaway. Amidst the partying, Angelique (Christine Gallo) begins to research the bizarre circumstances surrounding the death of her grandfather, the former owner of the cabin. She soon discovers that her grandfather had collected documented evidence of a local satanic cult and their evil endeavors. After a drunken prank goes horribly wrong, a cloaked and claw-gloved satanic killer lays siege upon the cabin; forcing the girls to fight for their sanity and lives.

The startling feature debut from New York based writer / director Sal Ciavarello, Hardcore Poisoned Eyes is a claustrophobic, cabin bound, winter set chamber piece which Rue Morgue magazine called both “atmospheric and jarring”. By utilizing a single location, an insular cast, and the dynamic visual stylings of Emmy-nominated cinematographer Huy Truong, Ciavarello’s Hardcore Poisoned Eyes was significant for delivering genuine tension and nail-biting chills which were commonly absent from the work of his SOV contemporaries.
