About Eye of the Devil in brief
Eye of the Devil is a 1966 British mystery horror film directed by J. Lee Thompson and starring Deborah Kerr, David Niven, Donald Pleasence, Sharon Tate and David Hemmings. The film is set in rural France and was filmed at the Château de Hautefort and in England. It is based on the novel Day of the Arrow by Robin Estridge and was initially titled Thirteen. It was the first feature film for Sharon Tate who had been discovered by Martin Ransohoff when she went to audition for Petticoat Junction. In 1968 the film was listed as one of only three films that did not make money, and it has acquired a degree of cult status, largely due to its surreal themes, due to the murder of Tate and the 1969 murder of her husband, John Le Mesurier.
The New York Times praised it for telling the story from a male point of view, but said the ending would not surprise anyone who had read The Golden Bough. In November 1965, with only two weeks of shooting to be completed, Kim Novak injured her back in a riding incident. She was replaced by Deborah Kerr.
