Evil Eye

I had high hopes for this film and was invited to a special VIP premier for this film. It was definitely just a drama. I feel that, while an interesting story, it just took too long to get anywhere worthwhile. I just don't understand why this is placed under the horror genre. There is not much scary and there aren't those little nuggets that these types of drama/thrillers have that keep the audience engaged. While it could have been a home run, it was just a blooper to right field for a base hit.

The title sums it up. I don't even have to say anything else.

The beginning of the film isn't very interesting or engaging, then the twist becomes obvious and from there it's just 30 minutes of whatever.

It really is a shame because the acting was good and the setting was interesting enough (it was nice to see the actor who played Rama-Kandra in the Matrix sequels).

But the film itself (while short) felt like an eternity because there was just nothing to grab onto.

Also, what is up with the ending? Is this a Marvel movie? Should I have waited for the post-credits scene?

For those of us who expected a horror film, this was disappointing. It felt more like what you'd expect to see on Lifetime, NOT Blumhouse. The acting was really well done and I can't wait to see what the actors do in the future. As it is, this was just another rehashed idea full of cliches that had potential to be more but fell flat.

Evil Eye was a movie that honestly cool idea and potential but unfortunetly it was starting to break apart even in second act and in end it was just another weak Blumhouse horror with a lousy plot twist that makes us laugh more then makes us scared and such staff is a very weak plot decision.Characters are fine but also towards end they become to become parts of cliched story that wasnt fresh at all.Rest of a movie was also very forgettable and not memorable ,it had some drama staff but that just effect me at all.Evil Eye was a film with a idea but that same idea was misused and misplaced somewhere in plot

Intriguing movie that questions aspects of mother-daughter relationships, women and marriage, and the supernatural or madness. Slow build burn film that culminates with empowerment. Enchanting film that brings just a hint of fright to what ultimately is a domestic drama.
