All Eyes (2022) is currently available on Tubi and comes highly recommended by Edward Delgado. The storyline follows a podcaster who decides to interview an eccentric old man who claims to have a monster on his farm. Is the old man crazy or is he telling the truth? The podcaster is about to find out the hard way.
This movie is directed by Todd Greenlee (Home with a View of the Monster) and stars Jasper Hammer (Lucky), Ben Hall (Minari), Danielle Evon Ploeger (The Pale Door), Nick Ballard (The Stunt Double) and Laurie Cummings (What Josiah Saw).
Hammer and Hall are really good in this. They reminded me a little bit of Bacon and Ward in Tremors. They had great chemistry and back forth through various conversations and circumstances. It does take a little while for this to get going as the first action/kill sequence isn't until there's about 35 minutes left in the movie...but that scene is awesome and catches you completely off guard. It's one of those movies that's super slow and then goes to a sprint out of nowhere. Everything that happens in the house at the end is tremendous and you find yourself thinking, "if it was me what would I do?" There's definitely some surprising, unforeseen circumstances that keep your attention and the movie well paced. The ending was smart and fairly clever in terms of how everything is positioned.
Overall, this isn't a masterpiece but it has enough unique elements and worthwhile characters to make it worth a watch. I would score this a solid 6/10 and recommend seeing it once.
