Detective Mystery Thriller On Netflix Sees Batman Actor Cross Paths With One Of History's Greatest Writers

Before originally landing on the Netflix streaming library, The Pale Blue Eye held a limited theatrical run, grossing less than $1 million in total box office revenue. Once it eventually landed on streaming, the movie was hailed as something of a sleeper hit by many critics, who applauded Bale’s performance but criticized the convoluted ending.

Today, the film touts a middling 63 percent critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite The Pale Blue Eye‘s inability to gain a foothold in the modern pop culture zeitgeist, the film is a much. watch for those who enjoy gothic horror, murder mysteries, or the written works of Edgar Allan Poe.
