Starry Eyes (2014) ★★½

Overview

She would kill to be famous.

A hopeful young starlet uncovers the ominous origins of the Hollywood elite and enters into a deadly agreement in exchange for fame and fortune.

Review

Starry Eyes is a grim tale of obsession. The lead character’s obsession with fame drives the narrative into a horrific deterioration of body and soul. The downward spiral of Sarah Walker (played by Alex Essoe) is convincing and harrowing. But the film lacks a cohesive and convincing storyline. The acting is hit or miss. Overall not a bad film. Just somewhat thin and unremarkable.

Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)
