Yeah, I´m kinda used to it now... There often is some overreaction to initial images, when the first picture was shown, people thought the scars made him too gruesome, but the new pics show they´re not quite as pronounced as the pic suggested.
Making the eyes more pronounced with a dark surrounding is one of the most effective resources used in horror and suspense movies. it gives them a freaky almost supernatural quality and emphasize the intensity of the character´s insanity and darkness, "window to the soul" and all that.
