On this page we would like to show you the film edition of Night Eyes (called Nachtogen in Dutch), which was filmed in Hollywood. There are several Jack Lance collections of stories, but they are only published in Dutch. For these, we recommend you visit the website of the Jack Lance Community.

Night Eyes

A young woman, Linda Raines, drives home one evening to her remote home, far from civilisation. There is a reason she lives there, alone. This day, however, she is not alone. Another vehicle is parked in the spot where she always parks her car. It is an exact copy of her own car, down to the smallest detail. This is the beginning of a confrontation with a horror from which Linda thought she had escaped. Read More

She falls forward. Read More
