In a world of CGI mush, endless retreads and overcooked posturing, The Mind's Eye provides a welcome respite with its classic, old-school charm.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 7, 2019

Stupefying in both concept and execution, The Mind's Eye is simply brainless.

| Original Score: 1.25/5 | Jul 20, 2019

The brilliance of The Mind's Eye is that Joe Begos knows exactly who he's making this movie for - this is a movie by a gorehound for gorehounds.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 1, 2018

Approaching the experience of the film as an effects showcase really helped me appreciate and understand what Begos was trying to do here. Though it succeeds in that respect, it did not leave me clamoring for more.

...a lot of fun...

| Original Score: 15/20 | Dec 8, 2016

Although The Mind's Eye has high aspirations, it's let down by a vaguely defined premise, a thin plot and boring characters.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 30, 2016

Ultimately, overindulging in gore at the expense of everything reduces an irresistibly enjoyable 80s throwback into a sporadically fun mess.

| Original Score: 5.5/10 | Aug 15, 2016

The Mind's Eye is midnight movie material, a film whose nightmarish bloodletting surpasses disgusting to skirt on the edge of the sublime.

| Original Score: B | Aug 12, 2016

Begos' latest feature is an ambitious throwback telekinetic tale that's explosively fun and a solid step forward for him as a visual storyteller.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 11, 2016

There's not a ton of depth to The Mind's Eye, but as a punchy, gruesomely funny horror movie, it succeeds quite well.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 6, 2016

... evokes the early works of Cronenberg or De Palma but doesn't have much substance beneath the grainy surface.

| Aug 5, 2016

The Mind's Eye is the kind of childish genre movie that gives genre movies a bad reputation.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 5, 2016

The Mind's Eye lacks a taught, tense backbone that Begos was able to find in his first film, Almost Human.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Aug 5, 2016

In the history of cheap gore films, "The Mind's Eye" is just another blip on the bloody screen.

| Original Score: D | Aug 5, 2016

Begos opens "The Mind's Eye" with the words, "This film should be played loud," as though his movie were a rock song - which is actually a fair analogy for a simplistic throwback homage that's all hook and no sophistication.

| Aug 4, 2016

The scariest aspect of The Mind's Eye would be the shrill, hyper-pitched performances that Begos ruthlessly extracts from his poor cast members.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 4, 2016

"...many practical gore effects should keep your eyes either riveted to or permanently averted from the screen (the former in my case, all the way)."

| Aug 3, 2016

The Mind's Eye is really fun to watch.

| Original Score: B | Aug 3, 2016

"The Mind's Eye" isn't trying to redefine a genre or stand outside it; this is mean-and-potatoes genre filmmaking, and the more straightforward, the more fun it is.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 3, 2016

Begos' follow-up to Almost Human, his John Carpenter-inspired debut feature, confirms the helmer as an enthusiastic student of '80s genre fare, but a frustrating underachiever.
