What I think is so remarkably great and entertainingly off-kilter and unusual about EYES OF FIRE is that you never once assume with any certainty what the hell is going to happen next.. or to whom... or even when?? Let alone, exactly what in tarnation is actually going on on the screen before you. Karlene Krokett as Leah the mute witch is a flabbergastingly good, refreshing and interesting character... Wonderful to see Fran Ryan (who ya'll might remember from SIGMUND & THE SEA MONSTERS, THE BRADY BUNCH, DAYS OF OUR LIVES or THE NEW ZOO REVUE) in a movie and Guy Boyd (so wonderful in Altman's claustrophobic Vietnam nightmare STREAMERS)gives a terribly interesting, borderline socio-anthropologistic turn as a wilderness, native peoples and folklore-wise wandering man of the land who just wants his philandering wife back in his arms... but, it is undoubtedly the tall, creepy and utterly imposing mute Earthen devil-witch creature who truly steals the show, attempting to claim each of the small band of settlers one by one and feed (return?) their souls back to the mud and the grass and trees... Okay, maybe the ending is one continuous WTF-fest that narratively dwindles down to less than nothing of any focus, logic or validity, and maybe there's just a tad bit of mundane repetition as we are treated to yet another round of entombed mud and tree spirits vomiting up the elements whilst the devil witch and it's human (?!?) entourage of naked avant-garde interpretive dance-mimes wreak havoc upon the settlers doomed fortress... but, as far as any other horror fantasy titles from the same era go, EYES OF FIRE was an unexpected and welcome change of content, pacing and scenery as well as a much-appreciated breath of fresh air in comparison to the droll mediocrity and flood of predictable slasher fare which otherwise permeated box offices of the same era.
