Summary
Reviewers say 'Evil Eye' offers a unique premise with reincarnation and Indian cultural elements, eliciting mixed reactions. Many commend the performances, especially the lead actress, and value the exploration of misogyny and mother-daughter dynamics. However, criticisms focus on the pacing, deemed slow and lacking tension. The horror elements fall short for some, leading to disappointment. The plot is seen as predictable, and character relationships unconvincing by several. Despite these flaws, a few highlight the film's storytelling and cultural representation.

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.
... a man who's not good enough for my daughter. Listen to your heart or listen to your mother; poor old Pallavi gets into a right palaver once her mother recognises something wicked in the character of her new boyfriend that's all too familiar. An interesting spin on karma, fate, kismet as well as misogyny, abuse and control. Sarita Choudhury is amazing in the role of all mothers who cared, while Sunita Mani convincingly portrays all women, from all backgrounds, traversing their ethnicity, cultures and traditions to discover who they really are - you should too!
The title sums it up. I don't even have to say anything else.
The beginning of the film isn't very interesting or engaging, then the twist becomes obvious and from there it's just 30 minutes of whatever.
It really is a shame because the acting was good and the setting was interesting enough (it was nice to see the actor who played Rama-Kandra in the Matrix sequels).
But the film itself (while short) felt like an eternity because there was just nothing to grab onto.
Also, what is up with the ending? Is this a Marvel movie? Should I have waited for the post-credits scene?

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.
Evil Eye was a movie that honestly cool idea and potential but unfortunetly it was starting to break apart even in second act and in end it was just another weak Blumhouse horror with a lousy plot twist that makes us laugh more then makes us scared and such staff is a very weak plot decision.Characters are fine but also towards end they become to become parts of cliched story that wasnt fresh at all.Rest of a movie was also very forgettable and not memorable ,it had some drama staff but that just effect me at all.Evil Eye was a film with a idea but that same idea was misused and misplaced somewhere in plot
