"The Eyes Of Charles Sand" scared me big time the first time that I watched it on television when I was fourteen years old.Other movies that had the same effect on me were "The Legend of Lizzie Borden" with Elizabeth Montgomery,"The Dead Don't Die" with Linda Cristal and "Out Of Contention" with Elizabeth Montgomery.First off, the cast of this movie is excellent.Peter Haskell is a highly talented actor who I think was under-rated during his time in the movie business.Joan Bennett,what can I say was a beautiful,classy,very talented actress.If you want a good scare,check this one out.I agree with another reviewer,not for young children.I Have This Movie.

I was 10 years old in 1972, and absolutely fascinated by the occult/horror genre. As a faithful viewer of the TV series "Dark Shadows", "The Sixth Sense" and "Night Gallery", I was quite used to watching stories about ghosts, vampires, werewolves and the like. But nothing had prepared me for the night I accidentally tuned in to this Movie Of The Week. Those first couple of scenes featuring the dead guy with only the whites of his eyes scared me more than anything I'd ever seen. I honestly don't remember much else about this movieI may not even have watched all of it. But still today, more than 30 years later, I get goosebumps just thinking about those scary white eyes!

Peter Haskell, formerly of the short lived "Bracken's World," starred in this pilot for a proposed series about a young man that is able to see "the dearly departed". He is called to investigate the mysterious death of the brother of loony Sharon Farrell (in an Emmy-worthy performance) and must contend with the other members of her family, sister Barbara Rush and her smarmy husband, Bradford Dillman.The movie has its moments, especially when Haskell's visions come out of the blue and surprise the viewer. Also, the "borrowed" Mancini score is tense-filled and goose-bump inducing.Spoiler: The highlight is when the reserved Rush becomes unglued, revealing her true nature.Though, it's not a great film, it does hold the interest for 90 minutes and that's all one should expect from a TV-movie.

I saw this movie when I was 8 and I think it was on around the same time that the screaming woman was on. I always remembered those two movies and could never get them out of my mind. This one as well as the screaming woman scared the living daylights out of me. If only they made thrillers as good as this for the big screen. I have been looking for this one as well as The screaming woman forever. Can anyone out there tell me if they have a copy of this? Now that we have DVD technology I suppose that the studio that owns the rights to it needs enough of a demand to put it on DVD, but as in the case of the Screaming woman I suppose that there are some cable stations looking for content that have shown this. Has anyone out there taped it?
