Tom Blaine cannot figure out how to take control of his life. Still reeling from the trauma brought on by the failure of his first marriage, which ended after his wife left him for another woman, Tom drifts deeper and deeper into self-hatred and resentment towards others. As he becomes increasingly paranoid that those around him are conspiring to manipulate and deprive him of happiness, Tom’s erotic daydreams -- or are they memories? -- along with his increasingly strained relationships with his new lover, old friends, and strangers threaten to drive him closer to the brink of madness and violence. One of director Cecil Howard’s (Dead Boyz Can’t Fly) most abstract and experimentally-structured films, SNAKE EYES is a neon-tinged study of emotional disintegration filtered through punk and new wave aesthetics. Featuring arresting dramatic performances from Jerry Butler (Roommates), Joanna Storm (Firestorm), Paul Thomas (Intimate Lessons), Sharon Mitchell (Joy), Laurie Smith (Matinee Idol), Cassandra Leigh (Raw Talent), and Howard’s exclusive starlet Rikki Harte (Spitfire), this tense tale of love and lust on the rocks comes to Blu-ray from Command Cinema, newly restored in 4K.
