Evil Eye

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

Intriguing movie that questions aspects of mother-daughter relationships, women and marriage, and the supernatural or madness. Slow build burn film that culminates with empowerment. Enchanting film that brings just a hint of fright to what ultimately is a domestic drama.

Ok. Straying away from the reviews I've seen I actually didn't overly mind this film. It's average and here's why.

My main issue I had with it was that the storyline itself just fell really flat. It was struggling to keep me engaged with the plot and characters and you could guess the ending half way into the film. The film is marketed wrong. I've seen this placed in horror. Do not watch this at all if you are intending on watching a horror genre film. It's more of a thriller/drama. The film could have gone down so many different avenues with the characters. For example we are introduced to her friends. Who we never see after the first 15 minutes. They could have been used in so many ways and added depth to a shallow plot.

I still, however, didn't dislike the film. It entertained me somewhat and the performances weren't too bad either. If the plot was beefed up it could have been so much better. But yeah. 5/10, average.

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.
