Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Adam Hursey – ★★★★½
   “Kuei Chih-Hung shows once again that he is the king of Shaw Brothers horror. Ghost Eyes may be my favorite film from him yet, and that is really saying something. I’m sure most people would go with The Boxer’s Omen, and with good reason, but, really, if you haven’t checked out Kuei’s films, treat yourself. All the ones I’ve seen have been fantastic.”

2. Matt Winfield – ★★★★
   “Even without his crazy curse-filled goop ‘n gore antics, Kuei Chih-Hung still serves up an intense, atmospheric, and pretty out there ghost story. A phantom vampire optometrist uses his mind control contact lenses to seduce a young manicurist, forcing her to trick her co-workers into rejuvenating his undead life force. Yep, definitely nothing strange about this one!”

3. More_Badass – ★★★
   “One probably goes into a Kuei Chih-Hung film with certain expectations. So if you watch this expecting another goopy gory facemelter, Ghost Eyes might disappoint. Chih-Hung instead tackles this story of a vampiric specter and haunted contact lenses as a mood-first tale of genuinely creepy horror. Absurd yet artful, laden with the atmosphere of rainy urban neon and decrepit lair shadows; the Bava influence is especially strong.”

4. cryptofgloom – ★★★★½
   “Not your typical Kuei Chih-Hung outing that’s sliced, diced and blasted with goop. Ghost Eyes takes the atmospheric route, delivering a genuinely creepy and out of the ordinary vampire story that is swarming with midnight blackness and pulsating with bloodsucking terror. Contact lenses that allow you to see the dead bring on other frights from the shadows… possession runs rampant through the body, you wither and turn pale… the hold over you by a force conjured of pure evil holds you.”

5. C.A. DeStefanis – ★★★★
   “This is my very first Chinese horror film and I don’t think I could’ve picked anything better than Ghost Eyes as an entry point into the genre. Thrilling, ugly, beautiful, bleak and mesmerizing. We are so attuned to our western interpretation of vampires, that it never crosses our mind that other cultures have their own… is Kuei Chih-Hung the Chinese Sam Raimi? Everything about this fifty year old film feels fresh to me.”
