Angustia (1987)
I have a real soft spot for unhinged European horror cinema. This Spanish exercise in eyeball injury from director Bigas Luna, is a great example, right down to the stilted English dub.
At first it seems that we're watching a movie about a murderous optometrist, and his creepy mother (Played by Zelda Rubinstein from Poltergeist) who can psychically hear those who slight her son using her magic seashell. But then it turns out that that was only a hypnotic movie being watched by another audience who are being stalked by a murderous dude, obsessed by the hypnotic movie.
The film jumps back and forth between the two realities, sometime showing both at the same time. If you have a taste for eyeball violence, and the absurd, Angustia (Anguish) is sure to satisfy.
