My Little Eye

OK I bought this film because of the rating and the tag line..."the greatest fright flick since the Exorcist" and the extreme violence rating...Crap..Five strangers spend 5 months 3 weeks in a house we come in on the last week and follow their generally boring demise.

Some of the camera work is mildly creepy and the acting does not suck.

It was mildly entertaining and the first half kept you in some suspense...but then it collapses,it gets to be very straight forward not exiting and very predictable with out the promised violence.

A very average film with a few jumps...if you liked Blair witch but wished it had some filming standards,them maybe you will like this.

Why all the bad comments? I don't understand it. True, most low budget thrillers are terrible. Serial killer knock offs without big name movie stars usually depend on gore effects, not characters, to keep us interested in what's going to happen next. This movie, though, is a tightly wound little scare piece that takes its time developing the characters and building suspense. The actors are terrific, the camera work unique and unsettling, and the direction always seems on target. The movie's main gimmick reads like it's going to be glib and possibly stupid, but the actors, and the director's ability to maintain a mood of foreboding, quickly dismisses any possible derision. I bought it and recommend it to anyone looking for a good, creepy thriller.

This film tells the story of five people who agree to spend six months in a house in the middle of nowhere, in return they will get one million dollars. The catch is that no one will get paid if anyone leaves the house.

I confess that I only watched "My Little Eye" only for Bradley Cooper. I expected it to be a terrible film, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The plot is captivating and thrilling, because the characters and the viewers don't know what is truly happening. Hence, I have no idea how the film will end. Every twist is a surprise, and keeps me guessing what is really happening! When the truth is revealed an hour into the film, I am completely captivated by the plot, and I can hardly catch my breath. I enjoyed watching it a lot!

This film was billed as a completely new for the genre. Its not.

Initially it starts out as a fairly edgy psycological suspense movie - focusing on the characters current paranoia and past skeletons. Had it continued in this vein things may have shaped up into something genuinely scary.

However, about a third of the way through, the plot is pretty much revealed (or can be guessed at) and the movie descends into a poorly paced slasher formula - except this time in a Reality TV House (which is incidently the plot of the new Halloween movie - previewed before this one starts!!).

The web-cam perspective adds something - but at the same time borrows heavily from Blair Witch and the end scenes from Silence of the Lambs - both of which were done better.

4/10 missed opportunity.

Five strangers are brought together to take part in a reality web cast, the rules are simple; they must stay in an isolated house together for 6 months to receive the prize of $1 Million, if anyone of them leaves early they all lose.

When strange things begin to occur in the house, the group suspect that someone is trying to scare them out of the house; but perhaps there is more to it than meets the eye.

Marc Evans Directs a cast of relative unknowns through this quite fresh feeling chiller, and he manages to create a dark and creepy atmosphere that helps to build and sustain the tension in preparation for a fine climax.

OK, so its a fairly trashy and a little easy to predict at times; but My Little Eye still prevails as a pretty original piece of work, that provides a few shocks.

7/10
