I See You

If you want a movie that offers some good suspense and one that does a pretty good job with misdirection along with some WTF head scratching moments then you can't go wrong with this film.

This is a very entertaining, clever thriller.

I would class this as an intelligent piece of writing, somehow it's a thriller within a thriller, it has a jigsaw feel to it, you will watch it and have many questions, how, what and who. Those questions will be answered as the film progresses, the intensity also increases, it is very satisfying.

What starts out as a relatively mild thriller soon morphs into something a lot darker, it goes through phases, ending as a very dark, twisted thriller.

Nicely acted, Helen Hunt does a good job, but all the cast are good.

It's a fine watch. 8/10.

We're not quite sure where we are with this often deliriously directed horror thriller. From the opening scene, Adam Randall directs former actor Devon Graye's twist-packed story with relish, taking every opportunity to infuse the recognisably comfortable home life of the regular family line-up - affable Dad, smiling-through-adversity Mum and bratty, sullen kid. As we discover, they all have their tales to tell. So do other characters we meet later on when perspectives on events change and things become darker still.

Supernatural elements appear to make way for a more tangible, home invasion. But don't be disheartened; this is a chiller alright, even if doesn't quite become an outright horror. The camerawork is so sly and suspenseful, you might find yourself leaning forward in your chair trying to see round corners, or behind silhouettes of the characters to get a clearer look as to what is going on. It's all aided by the terrific soundtrack by William Arcane, which is available to buy.

Some reviewers suggest that 'I See You' gets a little lost in its wealth of twists and turns, but I think they are all judged just right. My score is 7 out of 10.

I hated this film to begin with. I found it boring, and like some lame c-grade horror flick, with half the scenes barely even making sense. It felt like a Lifetime movie.

Then the film shifted dramatically and changed into something completely different. It was like watching two separate films, with a heap of separate stories taking place at once. It did this effectively though, and managed to weave all the strands together quite well. It certainly drew me in and captivated me throughout the second half.

I really didn't see some of the twists and turns coming. I'm glad I persisted through what I found to be a tedious first half hour. I See You felt like smart writing by the end, and definitely had a little swagger and style in the way it was made.

One of those films that leaves you kind of stunned by the end.

Very well directed with eerie feel. I often wonder why more thrillers like this don't utilize the power of sound and musical scores to build tension in a scene. Anyways I was pleasantly surprised by this in a year that hasn't released many good movies. I hope to see more from this director!
