Horror Vault's take

Shot in stark, luminous black and white, The Eyes of My Mother follows a sheltered young woman whose rural solitude curdles into something deeply disturbing after devastating loss upends her world. Raised in isolation with an unusual relationship to death and the human body, she struggles to fill the void left behind — and the methods she chooses are profoundly dark. Director Nicolas Pesce crafts a slow, hypnotic nightmare that feels more like a waking dream than a conventional horror film. Quiet and restrained on the surface, it conceals a brutality that lingers long after the credits roll.
