Recently in the thrift store I came across Gun's Eye from 1989/1990 in the DVD rack. It was a 2004 release from EmporiumMovies.be. This is a small distributor from Belgium known for re-releases of very bad direct to video DVD's. I had little hope, but the story of a bewitched Luger immediately appealed to me.
As for the DVD, it is a direct transfer from what I suspect must have been a 14-year-old abused ex-rental VHS, with burned-in Dutch subtitles. The image quality is among the worst in my DVD collection: ugly color reproduction, distortion, lots of pop up noise, parts with inaudiable dialogue, shocking image and some external interference captured as well. But apparently this is one of the few DVD releases of this obscure movie worldwide!
The movie itself I can briefly describe as the best bad direct to VHS B class horror movie I've ever seen. All known ailments of the subgenre are present: bad special effects, substandard acting, holes in the storyline, illogical choices of the characters and then the already mentioned very poor image quality and sound quality.
Still, the movie gave me the kind of chills I once had when I saw Blair Witch for the very first time. The idea that you can buy a cursed Nazi gun in a pawnshop and turn yourself into a murdering monster... It was more horrifying to watch than it sounds when you write it.
People sometimes dare to ask for an outrageous amount of money for old rare direct to VHS Horror. However, I bought my copy for 2 EUR. Others who own this rare DVD may have paid 10 or 20 times this price and may feel cheated, as this is a very, very bad transfer! Be aware of this, the film is worth nothing to most people just because of the poor quality, a waste of the plastic. But if you're open to obscurities and can live with some very substandard quality, this is the best movie of its kind I've seen so far.
