Evil Eye

About This Movie

Evil Eye is a pretty atmospheric piece, blending family dynamics with horror in a rural setting. You’ve got this thirteen-year-old protagonist, Nala, who is both curious and brave, and her journey to her grandmother's house is layered with unease right from the start. The pacing has a nice build-up, leading to some genuinely eerie moments that feel grounded. The performances, especially from Nala, carry a lot of weight. And there's something about the practical effects that adds a rawness to the scares, making the supernatural elements hit harder. It’s not your typical horror; it dives into themes of trust and the unknown, cleverly juxtaposing familial love with a creeping dread that lingers long after the credits roll.
