Behind Her Eyes

If you were a fan of Channel Zero and are still lamenting its loss, well there have been a few things to fill its void. The Outsider - was one. Behind Her Eyes is the next. Now, before we go on, if you don't know what Channel Zero is/was, then take a minute and read my review of that. I loved Channel Zero. I loved The Outsider. Behind Her Eyes might seem ridiculous to some (fair enough) but if taken in the context this is just another season of Channel Zero without that moniker attached to it, then you may love it too. What's it all about? It about Louise (Simona Brown) who is about to start a new job. It turns out that her new boss is the man she met and kissed at the bar the night before - awkward! He is a psychiatrist and his wife, well she's nuts. They have a dysfunctional marriage and Louise, she gets right in the middle of things becoming a good friend to the wife while sleeping with the husband, her boss. On top of all this juicy drama, Louise is having nightmarish sleepwalking episodes. There is a dream sequence where Louise is slow-motion running in a yellow dress and it's a stunning visual - you could freeze frame it and hang it on a gallery wall. I was so impressed I realized, this may be low brow material but it's been elevated to high art. Yes it's ridiculous, but so are most things - get over yourself. If you want some fun, get right Behind Her Eyes. Catch it on Netflix.
