I See You

"I See You" directed by Andrew Schuth is a Lost Cause in short! Shambolic editing, Pretentious plot & Overall a cheap presentation even for a found footage film. The story takes on the character arc of a Pervert, Misogynistic Guy called Steve; who loves to record everything he does in his life, including the hatred towards those woman who don't go on his way and a handful of sinister intentions he possesses inside his frickle mind. From the premise, it doesn't look that bad to be honest. Had it been properly executed; it could have atleast be a better movie to remember. But sloppy screenplay alongside Director's over smart approach ruined any feasible potential whatsoever. The ensembled cast did an average job though especially when considering it's an Indie project. Other than that nothing is of redeemable quality, hence I highly suggest you to skip this one as it would certainly be nothing but a time waste.

The good reviews are soo fake, don't waste your time watching this. Garbage !

So we watched this film expecting a great "thriller" movie since we last checked that it was 9.9 in rating.... but it was all hype though. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE AT ALL COST! DON'T WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME!

I See You is certainly a weird little film, not weird like Ron Jeremy's bits breaking off and going on a killing spree like in One Eyed Monster (2008) or a tyre gaining consciousness and telekinetic powers like in Rubber (2010). No this is a different kind of weird.

Filmed entirely through a camcorder it follows an unlikable wretch of a human being as he decides to make a vlog of basically his life much to the chagrin of those around him. It documents his friendship with the insanely annoying Rick and his relationships and how they develop.

But of course it can't be that simple, spliced into all the footage (In random orders may I add) is bloodshed and carnage. But who is responsible?

The fact that this isn't in chronological order doesn't work in its favor. I get what they were going for but it doesn't work. You know what else doesn't work? Not having any likable characters throughout! The whole movie looking so insanely ugly and it all feeling so very pointless.

This is NOT a horror despite what the cover would suggest, it's barely a thriller.

The Good:

Had the right ending at least

The Bad:

Who am I supposed to be rooting for?

Looks awful

A jumbled mess

First off, there is a big budget movie starring Helen Hunt that I was looking for when I came across this mistake of a film instead.

I watched the whole thing unfortunately, maybe to punish myself for some horrific sin I am unaware of because that is what watching this film feels like. Punishment.

The problem is not the fact that the film is low budget and unoriginal. The issue is the writing, acting, and directing. No character is likable, you're not sure who you're rooting for, the story-line skips around over and over again so you're never really sure what is happening and what came first. It is a absolute mess.

I am under the impression that the idea behind the making of this film was a hot, dirty pleasure, murder mystery, love-triangle, thing. But it doesn't come across that way. The actor's performances are terrible, gross even. The audience isn't really given a likable character at all, everyone just generally sucks. It would make sense if the main character was the creepy weirdo and so the audience followed him and he then developed characteristics that made him somewhat likable or redeemable, or maybe we just aren't supposed to be rooting for him and instead rooting for his end. But there is none of that. The writing just does not make sense and it isn't smart.

The worst part is, is that you really get a sense of horrific pride from the actors and creators. I am assuming it was created by a narcissist because, wow, it's insane.

It's just, aggravating to watch the whole thing, it makes no sense. It's like if you had a fever dream in the early 2000s while you were sick and couldn't wake up. It's bad. Just Bad.
