A thriller based on the story by Iva Hercíková with international casts headed by Karel Roden and Jürgen Prochnow. An elderly couple could enjoy a nice autumn of their lives if it had not been for the crevice in the wall that disclosed a secret that changed their lives forever. A secret that has become a nightmare. A secret of the past... Can the past kill? One mild and rainy morning, a couple of lovers enters a deserted house she chose as the place for their date. It could have been quite an ordinary date. When viewing the house, they enter a room where there is just a little window and one door. The door closes all of a sudden... an eye watches them through a crevice in the wall. The eye does not augur well! (official distributor synopsis)

I guess the Czechs are not really capable of making a proper thriller. With the exception of films like In the Shadow. Eye in the Wall is such a wasted opportunity, where some individual scenes are great, but as a whole, the film hardly goes anywhere. Interestingly chosen actors get lost in a story that has no proper flow.

If this film could evoke as much terror and participation as it evokes unwanted laughter and awkwardness, it would be a historical event. There is no point in rejoicing that Kohout is not entirely a blunderer in terms of the visuals, given that the characters speak and act unconceptually and misguided for 80 minutes. A terribly boring and troubled film in which there is no emotion and tension. The dedication to Hitchcock seems like a cynical burst of coffins after an infernally failed funeral.
