Eli

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 .

Horror movies are the easiest movies to review, most of the time you either like it or you don't. It's a genre where almost everything possible has been done before so to come up with an original story isn't the easiest thing to do. Eli is innovative I thought, it's entertaining from beginning till the end, and that mostly due to the constant mystery that hovers over the movie. There is a good portion of suspense, the cast is good, all actors did a good job creating that special dark ambiance. There are some nice twists so it's not that you will figure out the whole story immediately. As for the horror it might be mild for the hardcore horror fans but still it is entertaining. My wife is easily scared and so was she with 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

Nice twist at the end. It's not your typical everyday movie but it's worth watching. I hope there'll be a part 2.

This was not a bad movie at all and some of the negative reviews on here are way off mark. It's not a scary movie, in my opinion, (unless you scare easily) but it is interetsting and entertaining. I like twists and this one had a decent one. If you like TV Shows like Supernatural or others like it then you will probably enjoy this movie.
