Doesn't have a page yet but could it be The Secret Kingdom?
When i was little, we watched a movie on comcast on demand (god i feel old) it was a movie that contained the following (please forgive my disjointed memory):
so this kid is walking along the streets of new orleans and comes across this old man. tries to sell him something and the kid runs away. stranger danger.
there are two to three siblings living in a big house in new orleans. One of them finds a magical portal underneath what i think is a kitchen sink. They come across an eyeless man who freaks them out. they then are taken into the charismatic arms of this long haired bearded charismatic villain who tries to take the boys eyes. He escapes and joins the rebels or some shit...it makes less sense in context. Then his sister shows up and the villain decides to keep the whole "i'mma take your eyes" thing on the down low.
remember the old man from the beginning? he appears outside of the house and waves his magic stick around (a literal stick, dont worry) and then all is resolved in the house.
it makes no god damned sense but my siblings asked if i remembered it. My little brother got really scared at the scene where they're about to take his eyes out. he ran away crying. he's a doctor now.
