Résumé
Reviewers say 'Evil Eye' offers a unique premise with reincarnation and Indian cultural elements, eliciting mixed reactions. Many commend the performances, especially the lead actress, and value the exploration of misogyny and mother-daughter dynamics. However, criticisms focus on the pacing, deemed slow and lacking tension. The horror elements fall short for some, leading to disappointment. The plot is seen as predictable, and character relationships unconvincing by several. Despite these flaws, a few highlight the film's storytelling and cultural representation.
Avis à la une
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.

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.
The story started out pretty interesting then took a turn for the worse. I really hated the 2nd half & ending... it had potential but went complete fantasy.
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?
