Evan Dickson wrote in for both Bloody Disgusting and Dread Central regarding an impromptu interview he did with co-directors Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch, along with star Alex Essoe, about their film Starry Eyes, coming soon from Mpi’s Dark Sky Films.
Co-director and writer Dennis Widmyer explains the film, “It’s a horror/character study/body-horror/drama.
