"The Eyes of my Mother" is breathtaking and thrilling. However, as per IGN, the movie is unsettling and sad. Moreover, it is beautiful especially the black and while images. The sparse dialogue is aptly scattered throughout the film. The stellar cast did justice to their roles. It can deliver the scare and the thrill.
However, the plot failed to explain the motivation behind all the killings. The viewer is left to make his own conclusion. "The Eyes of my Mother" is worth the price of your ticket.
