My take: I am really starting to develop an obsession with deal-with-the-devil movies, and this is an excellent one.
Rating: 3 out of 4 stars
Synopsis of Starry Eyes
Sarah is a young actress with dreams of stardom. She works her ass off going to classes, auditioning, practicing. Still, she ends up without roles or call backs. That is, until she lands an audition with a famous production company.
Her first audition is an utter failure. But in the bathroom after the audition, one of the casting agents overhears her private, hair-ripping fit of frustration. They immediately call her back in to the room and demand that she repeat her bathroom performance. She complies and it leads to further auditions. But in those auditions, they ask for far more than rending of hair and hissy fits. They want her body and soul in exchange for certain fame.
What would you do to get what you want most? Would you get rid of all of your inhibitions? Would morality go out the window?
Yep, there’s a devil-worshipping cult in the background. But don’t fret; it’s not a corny type of cult.
What I Thought of Starry Eyes & Who Should See It
From the start of the movie, the lead actress of Starry Eyes is utterly mesmerizing. Watching her, you don’t know what she may or may not do next. Starting as the nice, girl-next-door persona, you start to see glimpses of the real Sarah that hides beneath the surface. I had a hard time taking my eyes off the screen as I watched her descent.
But don’t get me wrong, this is not solely a psychological horror film. There is also enough gore to sate the palates of gorehounds such as myself. You just have to wait for it. Trust me.
I would recommend this movie to people who like demon/devil movies, psychological horror or disease horror.
