Review: 6/10
Alright, let's calm down with the 8.9 ratings, people. Eye for an Eye (2025) isn't bad-but let's not pretend it's some horror masterpiece. I just watched it. It's fine. There are some fun beats, a couple of creative visuals, and Whitney Peak is legitimately great. But scary? No. Suspenseful? Not really. Makes sense? Definitely not.
What works:
Whitney Peak carries this thing. She's got real presence and does more with her role than the script gives her. There's some stylish direction in a few moments, mostly in the dream or nightmare stuff-but that's about it for the good news.
What doesn't:
There's no build. No tension. No dread crawling under your skin. It doesn't escalate-it just kind of exists. The story feels like it's trying to do twelve different things at once, and none of them land. And the rest of the cast? Mostly forgettable. You could swap 'em out with mannequins and I might not notice.
Bottom line:
Watch it if you're curious or a fan of Whitney Peak, but don't expect to be scared. Don't expect to be thinking about it after the credits roll. This isn't Hereditary-hell, it's not even The Ring. It's more like an overproduced campfire story that never quite figures out what it wants to be.
Final Score: 6/10
(And I'm being generous because I didn't hate it. Just don't try to tell me it's a nine.)
