Zack Connors (a solid and likeable performance by Graham Skipper) and Rachael Meadows (a sympathetic portrayal by Lauren Ashley Carter) are two psychics who possess incredible telekinetic abilities. They both become the wanted targets of the evil Dr. Michael Slozak (deliciously overplayed with lip-smacking brio by John Speredakos),who wants to use the pair for his own nefarious ends.

Writer/director Joe Begos keeps the enjoyable story moving along at a brisk pace, maintains a harsh take-no-prisoners tone throughout, stages the exciting psychic fight set pieces with skill and flair, generates a good deal of tension, and delivers a handy helping of nasty gore. The sound acting by the capable cast helps a lot: Larry Fessenden as Zack's helpful dad Mike, Noah Segan as the lethal and vicious Travis Levine, Matt Mercer as the wimpy David Armstrong, Jeremy Gardner as the bumbling Vince, and Michael A. LoCicero as brutish thug Kurt Thompson. The practical make-up f/x are quite gruesome and convincing. Steve Moore's pulsating synthesizer score hits the rousing spot. The sharp widescreen cinematography by Begos provides an impressive polished look. An on the money flick.

I'm a very big fan of low budget Sci-Fi films, and this one was quite impressive.

If you ever seen the David Cronenberg film, Scanners, it's very, very similar to that experience, The effects are simple and effective, and a good use of both visual and sound effects to make the psychokinetic powers seem eerie.

It's a good set of interesting characters with the best one being the guy who played the main antagonist, Slovak. He starts off sane and gets crazier like a super villain as the movie progresses.

The Mind's Eye follows Slovak as he hunts down and experiments on the ever growing population of psychokinetic people, in hopes of gaining great power from them, only to have to chase down a few of them who had escape his clutches.

I'm also a sucker for movies that allow me to reminisce over my 80s upbringing with a look and a soundtrack that remind me of that era (The film actually takes place in the early 90s)

It's a stellar production.

Almost a competent film, there isn't an original thought in this movie. Whoever made it saw Scanners and said, Hey rather than do yet another low budget zombie movie, let's do Scanners. And that's what they did. It almost a paint by numbers recreation of Scanners right down to the mind off (face off) at the end. Not horrible. But not good either.
