L'occhio del male

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.

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.

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.

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.
