1966 at 4PM.
The soap opera Before Dawn begins:
Will RUTH the matriarch fall victim to her DEATH CURSE?
Will her daughter SUNNY vanish into thin air?
Will her grandson NOEL end his torment by a MYSTERIOUS GHOST…from the future?
…on the other side of the TV screen, in the middle of nowhere…
ANNA might die if you pull her away from the TV.
Her daughter LINDA might as well be invisible.
Her grandson LEON might draw MALE MODELS again, if his mother leaves.
The Evil Eyes is an autobiographical revision of the soap opera Dark Shadows. —Bobby Abate
Bobby Abate (Brooklyn, NY) came of age immersed in Internet subcultures charged by alter egos, super-natural fantasies, and vice – dynamics that shape his darkly humorous works in film and video. Bobby’s work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim, The New York Film Festival, and the Institutes of Contemporary Art. Bobby’s first feature, Certain Women premiered as an official selection of the 2004 International Film Festival Rotterdam and won Best Feature at the Chicago Underground Film Festival. Bobby was a fellow at the 2006 Screenwriter’s Lab at the Binger Institute in Amsterdam for the 1969 period film Magic Minerals.
