All in the Eyes | comment |
The lights dim and the character is thrown into deep shadow (or sometimes even total darkness)—except, for some reason, for a mysterious rectangle highlighting the character's eyes. Sometimes this is used to indicate intense concentration, sometimes it's used to show the character's powerful hypnotic abilities. And sometimes it's just to tell the audience, "This next part is supposed to be creepy!" Almost never combined with Glowing Eyes of Doom. A form of Hollywood Darkness, and a subtrope of Chiaroscuro. Not to be confused with By the Lights of Their Eyes. |

Gomez and Morticia Addams display this for comic effect in the film adaptations of The Addams Family. Likely as an homage. | |

This appears again in Supernatural in "Folsom Prison Blues" (S02, Ep19), when the eyes of Dean, a prisoner, and a ghost are lit through light coming from a slot in the cell door. | |

The slits in the window blinds at the police station create this effect on Christine Collins' face, in order to see the emotion in her eyes (and quite possibly take attention away from her lips) in the 2008 film Changeling. | |

Chrono Cross gives the player a fine balance between blatant and ambiguous in cutscene transitioning the first act of the game into the second, when Big Bad - Lynx uses the MacGuffin on protagonist, Serge, and after an initial apparent headache, Serge stops thrashing and seemingly peacefully arises, whatever whammy involved clearly passed... except right before the a screenplay ends, Serges’ eye expression changes rapidly quickly accenting his unchanged smile from peaceful to sinister. First time through it is highly uncertain what has just happened, but clearly something has happened. When the player regains control and Lynx starts responding to controls instead of “Serge�, it is horrifically apparent what has just happened. | |

Played with in Blake's 7 where a rectangular theatre screen is used instead. In "Voice From The Past", rebel conspirators arrive at an auditorium only to find it empty of their supporters. Then Supreme Commander Servalan appears on the theater screen to inform them that the Federation has known about their plot the whole time. As she speaks, Servalan's image is reduced from a Close Up On Head to an Eyed Screen to a single eye. | |
