Demon Eye

Well, given the movie's title, "Demon Eye", I decided to sit down and watch this 2019 movie from director and writer Ryan Simons, believing that I would be in for a horror movie experience.

Horror it was, but not in the sense of this being a horror movie. But a horror to sit through this uneventful, tedious and downright nonsense script of a movie.

The storyline revolves around a supernatural theme, but it is a theme that is hardly utilized throughout the movie, so it was really, really hard to buy into the storyline and plot of the movie. And it didn't really help much that the movie wasn't making much use of special effects and CGI.

The characters in the movie failed to captivate me, and they had zero appeal. It was a shame, because there was some adequate acting talents on the casting list, but their talent were squandered by a horrible storyline and pointless characters. It was nice, however, to see a cast ensemble of all unfamiliar faces. I enjoyed that part of the movie at least.

The movie is slow paced; unfathomably slow paced. And very little of any interest took place throughout the 1 hour and 27 minutes that the movie ran for. So yeah, it was somewhat of an ordeal to sit through this movie in its entirety.

"Demon Eye" is hardly a memorable movie in any way, nor was it a particularly memorable or enjoyable movie. So I believe this one will simply fade into oblivion without having left any kind of mark on the horror genre.

I am rating "Demon Eye" a generous three out of ten stars.

Breathtaking views and great pictures overall but still stuck in the horror movie clichea. Erotical buildup instead of really blood chilling horror tricks.

A promising story with potential is the only good thing about this movie. Clichés can still work of done cleverly and with a creative spin. That wasn't the case here. Terrible acting and annoying characters ruined this film. Feels like you wasted your time..

Sigh. Yet another bad movie night has passed and this one is called Demon Eye. How do terrible movies grab you with their short little trailers? This is what happened with my wife and I last night. The trailer was creepy, scary, looked promising. Then we watched it. Oy. It's filmed overseas, England, probably. Overseas, small studio I've never heard of...unknown actors, by the way, is it a bad sign that NONE of the actors except for 1 has a pic on IMDB? I mean, not even the star of the movie has a pic. Wow. I've read some of the reviews and when I see people giving it a 9 and I even saw a 10. ..please believe that they were most likely paid to give such high marks, or that some of them are the producers of the film. I'm still confused with the ending, too. Point is, if you see this movie for rent, LOOK HARDER. There has to be something better out there. Peace.

British horror is an oxymoron. British films are mostly an oxymoron. And I'm British. British films seem to be centred on really bad language (we're not all like that, people) and broad accents - we're not all like that either. I hate the way we're portrayed in films - we don't all swear all the time and some of us are quite cultured. This film is ok with the portrayal of people. But they're boring. And the film is boring. The acting is boring. It's a complete nothingfest. Other reviews say it made them jump. When was that?? Avoid if you have to pay. There is no coherence. The actors are just 'meh'. Sorry to sound like a curmudgeon but am fed up paying for films on Amazon that are complete rubbish. I gave up on this twice: the first time at 30 minutes and the second at around one hour 15. Just don't bother. And now I've watched it all. Don't bother. It's dreadful and painful. Really, really painful.
