Nice twist at the end. It's not your typical everyday movie but it's worth watching. I hope there'll be a part 2.
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!
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.
Better than I thought it would be after reading negative reviews.
Horror movies are the easiest movies to review, most of the time you either like it or you don't. It's a genre where almost everything possible has been done before so to come up with an original story isn't the easiest thing to do. Eli is innovative I thought, it's entertaining from beginning till the end, and that mostly due to the constant mystery that hovers over the movie. There is a good portion of suspense, the cast is good, all actors did a good job creating that special dark ambiance. There are some nice twists so it's not that you will figure out the whole story immediately. As for the horror it might be mild for the hardcore horror fans but still it is entertaining. My wife is easily scared and so was she with Eli.
