Laura Mars (Faye Dunaway), a punk-chic photographer preoccupied with photographing violent, bloody, and morbid scenes, becomes alarmed when a psychopathic killer begins knocking off her friends by stabbing them in the eye with an ice pick (a rather uninspired and not very subtly executed modus operandi which grates more than it terrifies). Mars has visions of the murders as they are happening and tries frantically to find the killer, using her psychic powers...
...Eyes of Laura Mars appears to have everything--beautiful Faye Dunaway as the trendy Beautiful People photographer, a dash of the occult, fear, hysteria, mystery and violence. Except to accommodate these trends, this movie's plot is improbable at best and absurd at worst. Dunaway plays a fashion photographer whose photos are in because they include images of violence and death.

Eyes is now on location in New York, and the producer says he is having more fun than on his first trip to the Big Apple. He was 13 then...
...climbs to the top of the ratings is 'out of control' but that is its beauty. The film is widely satirical--the very insanity of its premise (that the network keeps the insane commentator on the air because of his ratings--makes film funnier than Eric Severaid. Faye Dunaway plays a programming executive who is without an ounce of compassion; William Holden plays a deposed news executive who gambles on her capacity for love--and loses. Holden is a little dull, but Dunaway and Peter Finch, the crazed commentator, manage to carry off the film's roller coaster ride...
