Eli

It's not exactly a horror as such, I would class Eli perhaps more in the psychological thriller genre, with some horror undertones. In the beginning it's full of suspense, and does offer up somemo e ts of horror, towards the end it changes up, and takes you to a place you won't be expecting to end up. It's somewhat unusual, but it's not without its merits.

Points for originality, effects and acting, on the debit side, the twist may be a bit too extreme for some, plus it was billed as a horror, and didn't really offer many scares.

Young Charlie Shotwell is the standout, and he's in some great company, mainly Kelly Reilly, although the young actor steals it.

Definitely better then some of the reviews would have you believe. 6/10

Close! So close, but no cigar here folks. Two first acts that went down smooth and lovely and then that final one which simply put, ruined everything. Perhaps it is a rarer outcome sure, unlikely to predict, but just seemed way out of place.

Eli is a movie that came with a close to perfect horror script, seriously great acting, good atmosphere, but however you look at it, in the end most likely you'll feel disappointed. No cherry on the top, no fat lady singing, just a premise and an execution to match it, till the very end.

Sure, I will recommend this one, because it delivers far more and better than most such productions out there, don't try to guess the final act, no point into it really, just enjoy it for as long as you can. I hope it will seem more natural to you than it did to me.

Cheers!

The movie started off great , really enjoyed this . Until about the last half an hour , where it took a totally different route , I think in an attempt to blow your mind but it just falls flat .

The film was enticing and decent up until the end which I found disappointing.

First things first: it's not a very scary movie at all. It does have a few horror moments for a while, but they're nothing special. So if you want to be scared, this is probably not the best bet. However, the plot and the mystery is quite interesting. It's a decent supernatul mystery thriller, I'd say. The major twist at the end will most likely either have you hating or liking the movie as whole, as you can see from all the very mixed and polarized reviews here. Whether you like it or hate it, the good thing is that it is not at all predictable. Personally I kind of liked it.
