While far from the worst adaptation of Poe's work (there are so many candidates for that dubious honor it's hard to know where to start), Two Evil Eyes breaks no new ground.

Two horror tales based on the short stories of Edgar Allen Poe. In The Facts In The Case Of Mr. Valdemar, a conniving wife and her lover use a hypnotic trance to embezzle a fortune from her dying husband. Then in The Black Cat, a deranged crime scene photographer is driven to brutal acts of murder by his girlfriend's new pet.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
Two Evil Eyes could give youngsters nightmares and is absolutely not for the squeamish--special effects maestro Tom Savini supplies the grisliness--but Romero and Argento fans are not likely to be disappointed by these tales of the supernatural.
