Evil Eye

... a man who's not good enough for my daughter. Listen to your heart or listen to your mother; poor old Pallavi gets into a right palaver once her mother recognises something wicked in the character of her new boyfriend that's all too familiar. An interesting spin on karma, fate, kismet as well as misogyny, abuse and control. Sarita Choudhury is amazing in the role of all mothers who cared, while Sunita Mani convincingly portrays all women, from all backgrounds, traversing their ethnicity, cultures and traditions to discover who they really are - you should too!

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.

Ok. Straying away from the reviews I've seen I actually didn't overly mind this film. It's average and here's why.

My main issue I had with it was that the storyline itself just fell really flat. It was struggling to keep me engaged with the plot and characters and you could guess the ending half way into the film. The film is marketed wrong. I've seen this placed in horror. Do not watch this at all if you are intending on watching a horror genre film. It's more of a thriller/drama. The film could have gone down so many different avenues with the characters. For example we are introduced to her friends. Who we never see after the first 15 minutes. They could have been used in so many ways and added depth to a shallow plot.

I still, however, didn't dislike the film. It entertained me somewhat and the performances weren't too bad either. If the plot was beefed up it could have been so much better. But yeah. 5/10, average.

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.

Really interesting idea here....I like the premise. And it started off well, but it never ever picked up. There was nothing horrifying or even thrilling about it. It was really flat, and the 'bad guy' is supposed to be this monstrous human being and I wanted to see more of that. There should have been more elements to this, some twists along the way but it was so bland. Like unseasoned food. The mother did a good job here with her acting and that was the best thing about this film.
