Two Evil Eyes (1990)

In the chilling cinematic anthology "Two Evil Eyes", two spine-tingling tales by Edgar Allan Poe are brought to life, intertwining greed, revenge, and the supernatural. The first story, "The Facts in the Case of Mr. Valdemar", descends into the eerie world of hypnotism and death. Jessica Valdemar, a cunning gold-digger, and her lover, the enigmatic Dr. Robert Hoffman, concoct a devious plan to swindle her terminally ill husband, Ernest Valdemar, out of his fortune. Using hypnotism, they ensnare the dying man in a trance, coaxing him to relinquish his wealth. However, an unexpected twist occurs when Ernest dies under hypnosis, leaving him stranded in a chilling limbo between life and death. As Ernest pleads for release from this uncanny state, otherworldly spirits begin to encroach upon his spectral form. Despite Jessica's desperate attempts to sever his connection to the mortal world, she soon discovers that Ernest has already been claimed by malevolent forces. The next tale, "The Black Cat", unravels a dark tale of obsession and guilt. In Pennsylvania, Roderick Usher, a morbid tabloid photographer known for his exploration of gruesome crime scenes, lives with his violinist girlfriend, Annabel. Their tranquil life is disrupted when Annabel brings a stray black cat home, a creature that immediately draws Roderick's ire. His hatred culminates in a brutal act that he immortalizes in photographs. However, when a doppelgänger of the slain cat mysteriously appears and Annabel discovers his ghastly deed, Roderick's life spirals into a nightmare. Engulfed by paranoia, he build a wall to hide a dreadful secret, but soon finds that one cannot easily escape the wrath of a black cat. "Two Evil Eyes" promises a cinematic journey of haunting narratives that lurk in the shadows of human frailties, where the line between the living and the dead blurs, and where revenge manifests in the most unexpected ways.
