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.

... 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!

When i first heard about the Blumhouse TV project, and the four new movies that will be released in October, i was excited, since Blumhouse has a history of making mostly cool horror movies, with the most recent one being The Invisible Man. I saw the first three films: Black Box, The Lie and Nocturne, and i was hugely disappointed, but i guess they saved the worst for last with this one. First of all it feels like all four movies have been done by the same writer/ director. Even same running time: 1h :30 min. All have poor story, poor acting, poor everything. They all seem very rushed, without any depth whatsoever. In this one, it's basically about a mother and daughter talking over the phone for the most part of the film, like don't you have other stuff to do in your life??? The leading actress Sunita Mani who played the daughter, i liked her in the movie Save Yourselves, she was a lot of fun, here she's like another person, with too much makeup all the time, even when she's in bed sleeping!!! Mostly i feel bad for Blumhouse, cause this is definitely below their previous work, and if the next four films in this project with Amazon are anything like those films, then it's a big mistake to make them.

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.

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?
