Als in einer nebligen Nacht in London ein älterer schwerreicher Herr in der Themse ertrinkt, mag Inspektor Larry Holt nicht an einen Unfall glauben. Beim Toten entdeckt der Ermittler einen kleinen Zettel in Blindenschrift, der vermuten lässt, dass hier die "toten Augen von London" am Werk waren. Außerdem fallen Parallelen zu anderen mysteriösen Todesfällen auf, bei denen die Opfer allesamt Kunden der "Greenwich"-Versicherungsgesellschaft waren. (RTL Nitro)

Englisch The movie was hilarious and often had me laughing out loud. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the filmmakers’ intention. I couldn't help feeling as if I was watching a kind of alternate reality in which Hitler won the war, but that's my own fault, I just found the German in "London" funny. That wasn't the worst thing about it, though. The movie didn't work for me as a thriller (much less a horror film) because it lacked suspense, the story was hopelessly predictable and most of the scenes could only make me laugh (except those that were meant to be funny). All the action (if you can even call it that...) was handled very poorly and the whole thing felt quite cheap. Two stars for the unintentional humor and a very nice damsel in distress. ()
