À Espreita do Mal

We're not quite sure where we are with this often deliriously directed horror thriller. From the opening scene, Adam Randall directs former actor Devon Graye's twist-packed story with relish, taking every opportunity to infuse the recognisably comfortable home life of the regular family line-up - affable Dad, smiling-through-adversity Mum and bratty, sullen kid. As we discover, they all have their tales to tell. So do other characters we meet later on when perspectives on events change and things become darker still.

Supernatural elements appear to make way for a more tangible, home invasion. But don't be disheartened; this is a chiller alright, even if doesn't quite become an outright horror. The camerawork is so sly and suspenseful, you might find yourself leaning forward in your chair trying to see round corners, or behind silhouettes of the characters to get a clearer look as to what is going on. It's all aided by the terrific soundtrack by William Arcane, which is available to buy.

Some reviewers suggest that 'I See You' gets a little lost in its wealth of twists and turns, but I think they are all judged just right. My score is 7 out of 10.

This movie was not what I expected. It actually turned out to be a really decent thriller. Once it kicks into gear, it goes. And it's a fun ride.

8/10

Plot: Jackie Harper is trying to fix her marriage after her affair with her high school sweetheart but her husband and son is not making it easy. To make things worse there is a creepy presence in the house.

The poster seemed cool and I thought it would be cool horror film. It is actually a mystery/thriller film, not a horror film.

There are three phases in the film. First phase revolves around the Harper family and the little strange occurrences that happens around the house. As the film progresses those strange events become increasingly creepy. There is also the drama centering the unfaithfulness of the wife. First phase takes almost 60 percent of the run time. I loved this phase, I had no idea what was going on, lots of questions were running around in my head. Then comes the second phase which takes a totally different turn in terms of cinematography and the tone of the film. Some hand held shots were used which distracted me from the ambience created by the first phase. This is the weakest phase of the film. Thank god it was the shortest phase as well.

The last phase shows lots of details and tries to tie the story lines. I liked most part of this phase as well. The tone of the film shifts here as well.

The acting was good by all the actors and music was nice as well. The frog mask is creepy. There were some solid twists which surprised me.

As the film has distinct phases and goes from mystery to thriller to action the overall experience diminishes a little. The production value is low and sometimes feels like a low budget TV-movie. There are some inconsistencies in the story.

I enjoyed the film. It is a clever film with some genuine surprises in the story. I liked the creepy ambience of the film and also the little dramas between the characters. Short run time also works in the favor of the film.

"I See You" is a Crime - Drama movie in which we watch a detective trying to find a missing young boy while he and his family starting experiencing some strange events at their house.

I liked this movie because it had a simple but very interesting plot with some plot twists that I did not expect and made it even more interesting. The direction which was made by Adam Randall was good and he did an excellent job without using any unnecessary jump scares that could lower the quality of his movie. I also have to admit that I was surprised with the very good interpretation of Helen Hunt who played as Jackie Harper and she was simply amazing. Some other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Owen Teague's who played as Alec, Jon Tenney's who played as Greg Harper and Libe Barer's who played as Mindy. Finally, I have to say that "I See You" is a nice crime movie and not a horror movie so, if you want to watch a classic horror movie then you should watch another movie and not this one. I recommend this movie because it feels very real and I am sure that you will feel it too, after watching it.

I hated this film to begin with. I found it boring, and like some lame c-grade horror flick, with half the scenes barely even making sense. It felt like a Lifetime movie.

Then the film shifted dramatically and changed into something completely different. It was like watching two separate films, with a heap of separate stories taking place at once. It did this effectively though, and managed to weave all the strands together quite well. It certainly drew me in and captivated me throughout the second half.

I really didn't see some of the twists and turns coming. I'm glad I persisted through what I found to be a tedious first half hour. I See You felt like smart writing by the end, and definitely had a little swagger and style in the way it was made.

One of those films that leaves you kind of stunned by the end.
