Synopsis!
"Eye of the Devil" is a 1967 film with occult and supernatural themes. This film was set in rural France and filmed in England.

Plot!
David Niven plays the owner of a vineyard, who is called back to the estate when it falls on hard times. Accompanied by his wife (Deborah Kerr), the couple are confronted by a beautiful witch (Sharon Tate), who also lives on the estate with her brother (David Hemmings). As time passes it becomes clear that a blood sacrifice is expected to return the vineyard to its former glory.

Filmed in 1965, it featured the first film performance of Tate, who was cast by Filmways executive Martin Ransohoff who hailed her as his great discovery. Finally released two years later it attracted little attention, however the New York Times wrote of Tate's "chillingly beautiful but expressionless" performance. Although it was not a commercial success in the United States when first released, it was popular in Europe, and it has acquired a degree of cult status, largely due to its surreal themes, and the 1969 murder of Tate.

The film is also known by the titles Thirteen and 13.

  • Sharon Tate was growing as an actress, this was her first credited movie role. Her best work was her last two: The Wrecking Crew and 12+1. Had she lived, I think she would have made alot more films, and I doubt that she would have stayed with Roman. .Ransohoff and Polanski both just cast her for her looks, the Fearless Vampire killers sucked.

  • this was actually a good film . A little bizarre but interesting. Sharon was great in this film. Better in "Valley" she really was on her way, I think...
