Featured reviews
Very watchable, just don't expect scares.
It's not exactly a horror as such, I would class Eli perhaps more in the psychological thriller genre, with some horror undertones. In the beginning it's full of suspense, and does offer up somemo e ts of horror, towards the end it changes up, and takes you to a place you won't be expecting to end up. It's somewhat unusual, but it's not without its merits.
Points for originality, effects and acting, on the debit side, the twist may be a bit too extreme for some, plus it was billed as a horror, and didn't really offer many scares.
Young Charlie Shotwell is the standout, and he's in some great company, mainly Kelly Reilly, although the young actor steals it.
Definitely better then some of the reviews would have you believe. 6/10

It started off great.
The movie started off great , really enjoyed this . Until about the last half an hour , where it took a totally different route , I think in an attempt to blow your mind but it just falls flat .
I liked it!
This was not a bad movie at all and some of the negative reviews on here are way off mark. It's not a scary movie, in my opinion, (unless you scare easily) but it is interetsting and entertaining. I like twists and this one had a decent one. If you like TV Shows like Supernatural or others like it then you will probably enjoy this movie.
Kinda lame
Well it wasn't terrible... I actually liked the scares in it but I kept waiting for the story to pull me in and it didn't. Felt like this was set up to be good and the story just didn't pick up then took a left when it should have gone right and the ending actually was terrible!
