Production

Development and writing

The development of Two Evil Eyes originated in the late 1980s as a proposed featuring four adaptations, each directed by a prominent filmmaker. , a longtime admirer of Poe, initiated the project and recruited to collaborate, with initial plans including segments from and . However, due to scheduling conflicts, Carpenter and Craven were unable to participate, reducing the film to two segments directed by Argento and Romero. Romero's segment, an adaptation of Poe's "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar," centered on themes of and incorporated modern elements of , depicting a terminally ill man hypnotized at the moment of death by his avaricious wife and doctor who seek to exploit his will for financial gain. Argento's adaptation of "The Black Cat" emphasized visual and the motif of , with the protagonist—a —drawn into a nightmarish spiral involving , guilt, and retribution through his lens. The screenplay credits reflected the directors' primary authorship for their respective segments, with Romero writing "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" alongside additional dialogue by Peter Koper, and Argento penning "The Black Cat" in collaboration with Franco Ferrini. Both stories remained faithful to Poe's originals while updating them for contemporary settings, such as urban for Romero's tale and a stylized, dreamlike aesthetic for Argento's. Produced as a U.S.-Italian co-production primarily through ADC Films, the project was allocated a of $9 million, enabling practical effects and casting while maintaining the 's intimate, story-driven focus.

Filming

Principal photography for Two Evil Eyes took place primarily in , , during 1989, leveraging the city's industrial architecture and foggy urban landscapes to evoke an atmosphere of gothic dread suited to the Edgar Allan Poe adaptations. Local landmarks, including aging estates and clinical facilities around the area, served as key backdrops, enhancing the film's sense of isolation and decay. The production wrapped by late 1989, aligning with the directors' goal of completing the for a 1990 release. George A. Romero's segment, "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar," utilized practical crafted by longtime collaborator , particularly for the climactic scene depicting the protagonist's liquefying corpse—a visceral achieved through layered prosthetics and gelatinous materials to simulate flesh. Shooting occurred in sterile interiors and opulent estate interiors, emphasizing confined spaces that heightened tension during the hypnosis and deathbed sequences. Savini's hands-on approach ensured the gore remained grounded in tangible, Romero-esque realism without relying on early digital enhancements. Dario Argento's "The Black Cat" featured cinematography by Giuseppe Maccari, who brought an Italian influence through vibrant, saturated lighting schemes that contrasted Pittsburgh's muted grays with bold reds and blues in interior shots. photography focused intensely on the as a symbol of guilt and menace, using shallow to isolate its glowing eyes against shadowy backdrops, while dynamic camera movements underscored the protagonist's descent into . This stylistic flair differentiated Argento's half from Romero's, infusing the segment with operatic visual poetry. The collaboration presented logistical hurdles due to the mix of and crew members on an Italian-led production, marking Argento's debut directing a fully U.S.-based project and requiring a coach to navigate English-language demands. editing proved essential in unifying the anthology's disparate tones, with cuts balancing Romero's subdued against Argento's flamboyance through shared Poe motifs and a cohesive , ensuring the segments flowed as a singular narrative experience despite their stylistic contrasts.

Release

Theatrical release

Two Evil Eyes premiered in on January 25, 1990, under the original title Due occhi diabolici, distributed by Artisti Associati International, and screened at the 1990 in the Midnight Madness section, showcasing the anthology's elements to an international audience. This domestic rollout emphasized the project's roots as an Italian-American co-production, highlighting the directorial contributions of and in adapting Edgar Allan Poe's tales. In the United States, the film arrived as a on October 25, 1991, managed by Taurus Entertainment Company. Marketing focused on the rare collaboration between , known for his zombie classics, and Argento, the master of horror, positioning Two Evil Eyes as a prestigious homage to Poe's legacy through festival circuits and select cinema screenings. International distribution varied by market, with some regions facing delays or edits due to the film's graphic content, though the core 120-minute runtime remained largely intact across major releases. Screenings at festivals, including later retrospectives at events like the , further amplified its cult status as a Poe-inspired .

Home media

The film was initially released on in the United States on by in 1991, presenting the standard two-hour theatrical cut. Anchor Bay Entertainment issued a DVD edition in 2003, featuring supplemental materials such as audio commentaries by the directors and cast interviews, which provided insights into the production of both segments. Blue Underground began releasing high-definition versions starting in 2009 with a Blu-ray edition, followed by a limited three-disc set in 2019 celebrating the film's 30th anniversary; this edition included a new 4K restoration from the original camera negative, restoring uncut sequences particularly in Dario Argento's "The Black Cat" segment to preserve his intended visual style, along with extras like new interviews with crew members and an isolated music track. In 2021, Blue Underground expanded this to a two-disc 4K UHD/Blu-ray combo, incorporating Dolby Vision HDR and an Atmos audio mix for enhanced home viewing, available as a collector's item with reversible artwork and a booklet on Edgar Allan Poe influences. As of November 2025, continues to be available for streaming on platforms including Shudder , offering ad-free access to the restored version. Regional variations include home media editions, such as those from Medusa Distribuzione, which prioritize the original audio track for Argento's segment and include for international markets. These releases have addressed earlier gaps by providing higher-quality transfers and broader options, though availability can differ by territory due to licensing.

Reception

Critical reception

Two Evil Eyes received mixed reviews from critics upon its release, with praise often directed toward Dario Argento's segment for its stylish visuals and inventive gore, while George A. Romero's contribution was frequently critiqued for lacking the director's signature or intensity. On , the film holds a 63% approval rating based on 19 reviews. Reviewers highlighted the uneven pacing across the , noting that the two stories felt disjointed despite their shared Poe inspiration. For instance, the commended Argento's "The Black Cat" for its "ingenious" narrative and graphic effects, contrasting it with Romero's more subdued approach in "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar." Starburst Magazine echoed this sentiment, awarding the film 7/10 and praising Argento's visionary flair while deeming Romero's segment weaker overall. Tom Savini's practical effects in Romero's segment drew particular acclaim for their grotesque detail, adding visceral impact to the hypnosis-themed tale. However, some critics, such as those from Fat Guys at the Movies, pointed to the slow pacing and limited scope of the anthology as drawbacks, rating it 2.5/4. In modern reassessments post-2020, the film has been viewed as an underrated Poe adaptation, gaining cult status among enthusiasts for its bold directorial pairing and atmospheric tension, including the October 2025 limited edition 4K Blu-ray release. Sites like Rue Morgue have described it as "ambitious and better than credited," emphasizing its enduring appeal in restored formats. It appears in lists of overlooked Poe works, such as MovieWeb's ranking of underrated adaptations. Comparisons to Corman's gothic Poe cycle from the 1960s often note Two Evil Eyes as a contemporary, gorier update, though its reduction from an originally planned four-segment anthology—intended to include contributions from and —is seen as a structural flaw that limits its cohesion.

Box office performance

Two Evil Eyes grossed $349,618 worldwide against a of $9 million, marking it as a significant disappointment. The film's earnings were almost entirely from its domestic U.S. release, with minimal reported revenue from its native or other international markets. This limited financial outcome stemmed from a constrained theatrical rollout in the United States, where it opened on , 1991, in a small number of theaters distributed by the independent Entertainment Company. The early represented a challenging period for the horror genre at the , with fewer successes compared to previous decades and a market dominated by high-profile releases like , which earned over $272 million domestically in 1991 alone. Two Evil Eyes' anthology structure, featuring two adaptations directed by and , further restricted its mainstream appeal, as such formats often catered to niche audiences rather than broad commercial viability. The nearly two-year delay between its Italian premiere on January 25, 1990, and U.S. debut may have also shortened its promotional window and audience interest. Compounding these issues was a mixed critical response, which likely deterred wider distribution and attendance. Over time, however, the film has achieved cult status, with subsequent home media editions—including multiple Blu-ray releases—providing additional revenue streams that have helped offset its initial theatrical underperformance.
