Production
The idea for the film came to director Bjorn Anderson in a nightmare. He was influenced by Cloverfield and The Blair Witch Project to shoot the movie in a similar first-person point-of-view style.[2] Anderson first pitched the idea of the Eyes in the Dark to producers Joseph Cole and Mike Ash in 2007 while finishing their first film, Warrior's End. Principal photography was done during the summer of 2008, but additional scenes were filmed later.[3]
Release
The film had its world premiere on April 25, 2010 at the Alabama International Film Festival.[4][5] In 2010, it was also an official selection for Seattle's True Independent Film Festival, Fright Night Film Fest, Local Sightings, and Killer Film Fest.[5] The movie was released on DVD through Amazon.com on March 21, 2011.[6]
