Bloody Eyes
image-to-video
Any aspect ratio
The camera slowly pushes in toward the subject’s face. Close-up of a subject with glowing blood-red eyes as thick crimson liquid streams downward from the eyes, trailing along the cheeks like supernatural tears. Their expression is frozen in a dark, possessed trance — intense, unblinking, deeply unsettling.
