Evil Eye (2020)

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.

Fmovies: 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.

Evil Eye has the elements of a Lifetime movie, that includes the acting and dialogue. There's nothing horror about the film, but it could've been a scary movie, if done right. It had an interesting premise, but it fell flat. The story went into the worst possible direction. There was false suspense and felt so long, even though it was only an hour and a half. Also, the movie couldn't decide what tone it wanted to be. It's a shame, this film had so much potential...

Evil Eye fmovies. It is like a B grade movie . Only four to five actors of the count continue to appear in the entire film. Too much nonsense . Don't waste your time

This movie was like pulling teeth. What was an average length movie. Felt like hours. A good first 5 minutes. Then nothing but corny dialogue and bad acting til 1.20 then I turned it off. The camera shots and graffics were great! But that's it.

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.
