The crown jewel of sophisticated erotica, filmmaker Cecil Howard's COMMAND CINEMA presents lavish Blu-ray and 4K UHD editions of Howard's own masterworks, alongside those he produced with other hardcore auteurs such as Chuck Vinecent, Roberta Findlay, and Armand Weston.
Tom Blaine cannot figure out how to take control of his life. Still reeling from the trauma brought on by the failure of his first marriage, which ended after his wife left him for another woman, Tom drifts deeper and deeper into self-hatred and resentment towards others. As he becomes increasingly paranoid that those around him are conspiring to manipulate and deprive him of happiness, Tom’s erotic daydreams -- or are they memories? -- along with his increasingly strained relationships with his new lover, old friends, and strangers threaten to drive him closer to the brink of madness and violence. One of director Cecil Howard’s (Dead Boyz Can’t Fly) most abstract and experimentally-structured films, SNAKE EYES is a neon-tinged study of emotional disintegration filtered through punk and new wave aesthetics. Featuring arresting dramatic performances from Jerry Butler (Roommates), Joanna Storm (Firestorm), Paul Thomas (Intimate Lessons), Sharon Mitchell (Joy), Laurie Smith (Matinee Idol), Cassandra Leigh (Raw Talent), and Howard’s exclusive starlet Rikki Harte (Spitfire), this tense tale of love and lust on the rocks comes to Blu-ray from Command Cinema, newly restored in 4K.

Reviews
Buy early for the extras
"Snake Eyes is one of Cecil Howard’s most stylish and memorable films, mixing noir atmosphere, sharp cinematography, and a genuinely engaging story in a way few films from that era managed. The presentation on this release is excellent, and the included dice were a really nice touch that added some extra personality to the set."
— Shane P. (5/5)
Roll your bones
"Another strong release from Cecil Howard. Laurie Smith is shamefully underrated and Rikki Harte was great in a short appearance. I just don't understand how Jerry Butler was never taken seriously in the mainstream film world. He really was a great actor. Overall a good flick."
— Patrick D. (5/5)
Cecil Howard standout
"“Snake Eyes” (1985) is one of Cecil Howard’s most ambitious adult dramas—stylish, psychologically driven, and anchored by a strong central performance from Jerry Butler. Howard uses the film to explore middle‑aged anxiety, fear of abandonment, and emotional unraveling, themes he had touched on in earlier works but develops here with greater seriousness. The story follows Tom Blaine, a successful advertising executive plagued by a recurring nightmare—rendered in a stylized, strobe‑lit opening sequence—that symbolizes his growing sense of entrapment and dissatisfaction."
— Tarek E. (3/5)
Another great Cecil Howard flick
"Another great Cecil Howard flick in a beautiful special edition. Jerry Butler acts his ass off and I'm surprised he didn't cross over into mainstream roles. Laurie Smith is also an all-star here. Pretty dark but an absolutely fantastic adult picture before it started all getting shot on video. Great film and I got the dice with it too."
— Bryan K. (5/5)
not your average porno
"surreal/arthouse/avant garde yet still erotic sex scenes (Sharon Mitchell looks stunning) As for music it sounds like they did a variation of Tangerine Dreams Love On A Real Train"
— KEVIN S. (4/5)
Cecil Gets Stylish
"If MTV relented and became full-on glans central (or if Adrian Lyne turned into a two-headed sex beast), Snake Eyes is what you get. Classy and stylish as usual with Command, but with extra music video flair, it’s enjoyable and hot - if George Payne turns up, you know it’s gonna be intense. Thanks for the dice BTW!"
— Barry D. (5/5)
Roll the dice
"Look into my eye and you'll see that this flick is not one but two snake eyes. A wild ride courtesy of Command Cinema and an adult film for the MTV generation. There were a few times I was expecting a Whitesnake music video and then all porn breaks loose. All the women are super-hot and the shot on video sequel is a cool addition."
— Charles D. (5/5)
Laurie Smith Jerry Butler Snake Eyes
"Snake Eyes is a stylish moody award winning classic from Cecil Howard with excellent performances from Jerry Butler and Laurie Smith. Both would later appear in other Howard films. The music score is memorable and great screenplay from Anne Randall. Other cast include Joanna Storm, Cassandra Leigh and Paul Thomas. This film is a great companion to Howard's other classic Star Angel. This order came with dice and a sticker. Great 4k resolution too."
— Bret M. (5/5)
Excellent Late Period Classic
"Excellent adult feature from master director, Cecil Howard exploring an ad man's jealousy, frustrations, and conspiratory fantasies. Great acting and hot sex scenes with some actresses that were not usually in starring roles such as Laurie Smith. This disc also includes the better-than-expected SOV sequel, Snake Eyes 2"
— Dean H. (5/5)
Snake Eyes
"Killer theme song as usual. Was a bit disappointed with the bait and switch - the image from the cover is not in the film! Still a great releases with the SOV Snake Eyes 2 included as a bonus."
— Adam K. (4/5)
