Behind Blue Eyes (2013)

Easily mislead teenager Sophie is left lonely and screaming for help, her saviour isn't as innocent as first thought and soon captures her in a web of mistrust and confusion. Can you really trust those closest to you?
 

Instantly hypnotizing, Behind Blue Eyes takes its audience’s hands and leads them through a sinister and realistic storyline of mistrust and lost innocence. Sophie – played by up and coming British talent Sammi Lovell, is struggling to find clarity in the life she has been dealt. Pressures coming from various aspects of her life, it is no wonder that at the first sign of compassion and kindness she receives she is unwillingly to let that person slip away. 
 

Behind Blue Eyes writer Alexandra Mullins known for short film comedy ‘The Interview’ has worked closely with the director to produce a realistic and spine chilling short film that leaves the audience questioning their own lives.  Behind Blue Eyes follows in the footsteps of “Lolita” (1962) directed by Stanley Kubrick, a story about sexual grooming and “Hard Candy” (2005) directed by David Slade, where a teenage girl tries to expose a paedophile  British director Katie-Mai Taylor was said to have used such films as inspiration when it comes to the relationship between the groomer and victim, throughout the film you appear to be questioning if the groomer is even in the wrong. Hard Candy and Lolita have a similar plot line to Behind Blue Eyes with all three focusing on the subject of child abuse however all of them are focusing on various points of view and ways of looking and dealing with the abuse.
