THE TREES HAVE EYES

Cinemavixion Review

Jordan Pacheco's "The Trees Have Eyes" plunges viewers into a primal struggle for survival, set against the eerie backdrop of a New England forest. The narrative follows a group of bounty hunters whose pursuit of a fugitive takes a terrifying turn as they stumble upon an encroaching undead horde. Pacheco masterfully crafts an atmosphere of escalating dread, where the isolation of the wilderness becomes a character in itself, amplifying the hunters' desperation. The film excels in its relentless pacing and visceral horror, offering a chilling exploration of how quickly civilization can crumble when confronted by the monstrous unknown. While perhaps leaning into familiar tropes of the zombie genre, the execution is commendably taut, delivering a suspenseful and unsettling experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
