Really interesting idea here....I like the premise. And it started off well, but it never ever picked up. There was nothing horrifying or even thrilling about it. It was really flat, and the 'bad guy' is supposed to be this monstrous human being and I wanted to see more of that. There should have been more elements to this, some twists along the way but it was so bland. Like unseasoned food. The mother did a good job here with her acting and that was the best thing about this film.

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.

This one should have been a short story based on the content it has to offer.

The title sums it up. I don't even have to say anything else.

The beginning of the film isn't very interesting or engaging, then the twist becomes obvious and from there it's just 30 minutes of whatever.

It really is a shame because the acting was good and the setting was interesting enough (it was nice to see the actor who played Rama-Kandra in the Matrix sequels).

But the film itself (while short) felt like an eternity because there was just nothing to grab onto.

Also, what is up with the ending? Is this a Marvel movie? Should I have waited for the post-credits scene?

...

The story started out pretty interesting then took a turn for the worse. I really hated the 2nd half & ending... it had potential but went complete fantasy.

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

... 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!

Mis-genred, poorly plotted, and incredibly tedious- Evil Eye is not a horror film as it is made out to be- but its easily the worst horror movie that isn't a horror movie ever made. This film is kind of a disaster. When I heard the plot and saw the film was largely casted with Indian actors I was very excited, but unfortunately it's quite possibly the most mistoned film I have seen in some time. This film is NOT a horror movie, if you wanted to call it anything remotely close to that, it's a thriller- and a Lifetime original film level one at that. It's hard to believe such a mess of a film with such horrible writing was actually made by a major studio led alone sold to another one. The film is such a mess in terms of how it wants to execute its story, it feels like you are watching a hallucination play out on screen. Its edited very poorly, and the dialogue is often the same thing over and over again. Even the scenes are almost shot for shot repeats of other scenes. It's ridiculous while they were making this movie that they didn't realize it was falling apart at the seems. It isn't a horror movie, it isn't a good drama film, in fact it's hardly a film at all. The actors all try their best, mainly actresses Sunita Mani and Sarita Choudhury- but Mani is hardly on screen enough to save the film from exhaustion and Choudhury just simply overdose it at times. In the end, Evil Eye is a disaster- too bloated and yet too thin- and altogether just an unpleasant experience to watch. It has some moments that shine, but in the end, its as forgettable and as messy as they can be.

My Rating: 2.5/10.

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.

I had high hopes for this film and was invited to a special VIP premier for this film. It was definitely just a drama. I feel that, while an interesting story, it just took too long to get anywhere worthwhile. I just don't understand why this is placed under the horror genre. There is not much scary and there aren't those little nuggets that these types of drama/thrillers have that keep the audience engaged. While it could have been a home run, it was just a blooper to right field for a base hit.

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.

It is like a B grade movie . Only four to five actors of the count continue to appear in the entire film. Too much nonsense . Don't waste your time

Decent story idea, but poorly executed... There really isn't much more to say. It's hard to find good movies to watch this year. Thanks covid!

Evil Eye has a great concept, and is full of suspense. Nothing is given away too quickly, and the way the story unfolds is riveting. However, it seems like the creative team couldn't decide if they wanted to make a psychological thriller or a supernatural horror film, which makes it feel at times like you're watching two different movies. That being said, it is still enjoyable. The film dissects the "overprotective mother" trope, and doesn't play into stereotypes. I found the dialogue to be pretty realistic as well. The performances really make the thematic inconsistencies less jarring and more watchable. Omar Maskati gives an incredible performance in a very difficult role, and Sarita Choudhury is absolutely phenomenal, giving a very nuanced performance. This film isn't perfect, but it's definitely worth watching.

This movie was like pulling teeth. What was an average length movie. Felt like hours. A good first 5 minutes. Then nothing but corny dialogue and bad acting til 1.20 then I turned it off. The camera shots and graffics were great! But that's it.

The horror reviewers could perhaps extend their understanding of the genre. It was well acted and disturbing and so very Indian. Thank you.

When i first heard about the Blumhouse TV project, and the four new movies that will be released in October, i was excited, since Blumhouse has a history of making mostly cool horror movies, with the most recent one being The Invisible Man. I saw the first three films: Black Box, The Lie and Nocturne, and i was hugely disappointed, but i guess they saved the worst for last with this one. First of all it feels like all four movies have been done by the same writer/ director. Even same running time: 1h :30 min. All have poor story, poor acting, poor everything. They all seem very rushed, without any depth whatsoever. In this one, it's basically about a mother and daughter talking over the phone for the most part of the film, like don't you have other stuff to do in your life??? The leading actress Sunita Mani who played the daughter, i liked her in the movie Save Yourselves, she was a lot of fun, here she's like another person, with too much makeup all the time, even when she's in bed sleeping!!! Mostly i feel bad for Blumhouse, cause this is definitely below their previous work, and if the next four films in this project with Amazon are anything like those films, then it's a big mistake to make them.

This is my second Blumhouse/Amazon Halloween movie and I'm 2 for 2. This fun little genre hybrid centers on a young Indian woman and her mom who suspects her daughter's new fiancee is the reincarnation of her evil dead lover. Approaching the material from the cultural standpoint gives it a new refreshing feel and that ending is pretty satisfying. Although it's never really scary it is creepy and suspenseful. And the movie is stacked with solid performances, creative cinematography and inspired direction.

Started with some hope of good movie apart from scenes from India and made feel like mother need some serious support for mental health.

Climax is very disappointing. Superstitious mixed with modern society which is trying to express against the independence of individuals. Trying to convince to obey elders/parents like they know everything and youngsters can't understand reality to take decisions.

It will be better if climax was reasonable other than trying to prove these kind of superstition. For a better society, please don't promote these kind of thoughts through any media...

When I read the description of the movie I really wanted to watch it because it looked unique but i was disappointed. The acting was fine (nothing special) but the scenario has so many holes.

Oh No.. I can't believe this movie was made by Boumhouse... This was the worst movie i have ever watched from blumhouse, This was the worst movie i have ever watched in my entire life.

The family was nothing like an indian family, There was no horror, No mystery, No suspense, No thrill, Bad acting, Pathetic story, Bad actors.

Movie was lame and boring. Blumhouse why did you produce this movie? You should have done a bit of research before making this movie.

Movie was more of a melodrana between mother and daughter.. This should have been a shoet movie of 5 minutes, it didn't deserve to be on prime or on TV..

I want my precious time back..
