I See You: Das Böse ist näher als du denkst

Very well directed with eerie feel. I often wonder why more thrillers like this don't utilize the power of sound and musical scores to build tension in a scene. Anyways I was pleasantly surprised by this in a year that hasn't released many good movies. I hope to see more from this director!

The first thing I did after watching this movie was looking for the name of the music composer. Because the sound design is incredible. Really good. It creates a lot of the atmosphere, which is what this movie is about: creepy atmosphere! It is not about paranormal activity, no ghosts, no monsters, no gore, no terror. Nevertheless creepy with high tension. A psycho thriller and horror thriller. Unpredictable with surprises and twists in the story. Don't read too much about it before watching it. It would destroy the experience. It is a great, realistic story.

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.

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.

If you want a movie that offers some good suspense and one that does a pretty good job with misdirection along with some WTF head scratching moments then you can't go wrong with this film.
