Evil Eye

... a man who's not good enough for my daughter. Listen to your heart or listen to your mother; poor old Pallavi gets into a right palaver once her mother recognises something wicked in the character of her new boyfriend that's all too familiar. An interesting spin on karma, fate, kismet as well as misogyny, abuse and control. Sarita Choudhury is amazing in the role of all mothers who cared, while Sunita Mani convincingly portrays all women, from all backgrounds, traversing their ethnicity, cultures and traditions to discover who they really are - you should too!

Intriguing movie that questions aspects of mother-daughter relationships, women and marriage, and the supernatural or madness. Slow build burn film that culminates with empowerment. Enchanting film that brings just a hint of fright to what ultimately is a domestic drama.

Ok. Straying away from the reviews I've seen I actually didn't overly mind this film. It's average and here's why.

My main issue I had with it was that the storyline itself just fell really flat. It was struggling to keep me engaged with the plot and characters and you could guess the ending half way into the film. The film is marketed wrong. I've seen this placed in horror. Do not watch this at all if you are intending on watching a horror genre film. It's more of a thriller/drama. The film could have gone down so many different avenues with the characters. For example we are introduced to her friends. Who we never see after the first 15 minutes. They could have been used in so many ways and added depth to a shallow plot.

I still, however, didn't dislike the film. It entertained me somewhat and the performances weren't too bad either. If the plot was beefed up it could have been so much better. But yeah. 5/10, average.

For those of us who expected a horror film, this was disappointing. It felt more like what you'd expect to see on Lifetime, NOT Blumhouse. The acting was really well done and I can't wait to see what the actors do in the future. As it is, this was just another rehashed idea full of cliches that had potential to be more but fell flat.

Evil Eye was a movie that honestly cool idea and potential but unfortunetly it was starting to break apart even in second act and in end it was just another weak Blumhouse horror with a lousy plot twist that makes us laugh more then makes us scared and such staff is a very weak plot decision.Characters are fine but also towards end they become to become parts of cliched story that wasnt fresh at all.Rest of a movie was also very forgettable and not memorable ,it had some drama staff but that just effect me at all.Evil Eye was a film with a idea but that same idea was misused and misplaced somewhere in plot
