I See You

I think a good plot twist is hard to see these days because we've seen a lot that they are very predictable now, but these one had a very good one and I liked how the ending wasn't what I expected and the way it unraveled.

This movie had the right amount of jump scares, horror and mystery and I feel like that's the way a movie traps you into knowing what's going to happen next.

It's entertaining since the beginning because right away, it starts with a good opening scene that makes you wonder what this movie is gonna be about and how is it related with the other characters. If you're looking for a scary thriller with a plot twist go give this movie a try.

It takes a lot for me to say this, but I watched it twice and I never watch a movie twice.

What we have here is a double whammy, for the first half you think you are watching one movie then it completely slaps you with in the face with HA you thought you figured it out but you didnt at all.

The performances are great all around. I will say that Helen Hunt is not the star of this movie, that says a lot because she is great as always but before you watch it know that she is not the main focus, at times it feels like they just hired her for star power.

Just watch it, I can say moch more without giving away the plot and part of the charm is not to know what is coming at you.

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.

This movie was not what I expected. It actually turned out to be a really decent thriller. Once it kicks into gear, it goes. And it's a fun ride.

8/10

Plot: Jackie Harper is trying to fix her marriage after her affair with her high school sweetheart but her husband and son is not making it easy. To make things worse there is a creepy presence in the house.

The poster seemed cool and I thought it would be cool horror film. It is actually a mystery/thriller film, not a horror film.

There are three phases in the film. First phase revolves around the Harper family and the little strange occurrences that happens around the house. As the film progresses those strange events become increasingly creepy. There is also the drama centering the unfaithfulness of the wife. First phase takes almost 60 percent of the run time. I loved this phase, I had no idea what was going on, lots of questions were running around in my head. Then comes the second phase which takes a totally different turn in terms of cinematography and the tone of the film. Some hand held shots were used which distracted me from the ambience created by the first phase. This is the weakest phase of the film. Thank god it was the shortest phase as well.

The last phase shows lots of details and tries to tie the story lines. I liked most part of this phase as well. The tone of the film shifts here as well.

The acting was good by all the actors and music was nice as well. The frog mask is creepy. There were some solid twists which surprised me.

As the film has distinct phases and goes from mystery to thriller to action the overall experience diminishes a little. The production value is low and sometimes feels like a low budget TV-movie. There are some inconsistencies in the story.

I enjoyed the film. It is a clever film with some genuine surprises in the story. I liked the creepy ambience of the film and also the little dramas between the characters. Short run time also works in the favor of the film.
