Horror Review: The Pale Blue Eye (2022)
In The Pale Blue Eye (2022), a retired police officer, Augustus Landor, is asked to solve a gruesome case of organ theft at the US Military Academy of West Point. The Academy’s honour is at stake and they’d appreciate it very much if Landor would solve this quickly and discretely. Unfortunately for Colonel Thayer and Captain Hitchcock, the case of corpse tampering turns out to have been preceded by murder and that won’t be the only death at West Point. The fact that the cadet standing guard over the first dead body was sent away by someone he claims was dressed as an officer makes things even trickier. Landor isn’t alone, though. Another cadet by the name of Edgar Allan Poe takes an interest in the case and offers his help. Soon, things take a turn for the very, very weird. Warning: SPOILERS .
