Best movie of this year hands down!

the audience applauded

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The film started out good - I enjoyed the first 30 minutes or so of it... but it started going down hill after that... I ended up fast-forwarding through it to see how it ended. You are better off with House on Haunted Hill than this film -- same basic idea but My Little Eye is a month in the house instead of over night. 4/10

But I don't think that was the main intention of the filmmakers. It's not like they went out to criticize something and make an art movie about it. There are hints and stabs (forgive the pun) at some things that are happening socially, but in the end the movie wants to entertain and not to teach/pray.There is one song in there, that got my blood pumping. A song that might was very intense and for a special purpose, which it fully created. Nicely done. The acting is decent for a horror movie and there are not too many (or at least none too obvious) flaws in the script. Big Brother might not want to you watch this ... or was he wants you to watch it? On a more serious note though: This is a decent effort and an entertaining enough movie to watch

With every trend, more trends will follow in suit. So, when reality TV shows flooded the market, it was only right that films based on reality TV shows would come next, and they did. 'My Little Eye,' along with such films as 'Series 7,' 'Wrong Turn 2,' etc., are some of those trend-followers.In 'My Little Eye,' five people are chosen to live together for six months in an isolated house, 'Big Brother'-style. The prize: $1 million. The rule: No one's allowed to leave, and if someone does, everyone loses. As morals & wills are tested, the 'show' becomes more & more demanding. To add to their many issues, the cast begins to sense a presence in the home from more than just their housemates. . .Like many of the great horrors over the decades, 'My Little Eye' brings together a few of the best elements available: Paranoia, voyeurism, claustrophobia, suspense. . . At its core, it may be nothing more than a simple slasher-type film, but it does manage to move beyond that with its different style and tone. Technically, it's above-average. The direction & cinematography work well most of the time (though, sometimes, the out-of-focus shots are just plain annoying) and I find it to be a smart move to use this style as it quite clearly would save some money. The writing is fairly good, though the dialogue gets a bit unrealistic at times. The acting, for the most part, is reasonable, though I was unimpressed at times, especially with the work of Sean Johnson (Matt). Regardless, the film does work fairly well and delivers some real scares throughout.It's not "the scariest film since 'The Exorcist'" as the box says, but fans looking for a scary modern horror/thriller should definitely give 'My Little Eye' a look.Final Verdict: 6.5/10.-AP3-

Technology and the Internet allow endless possibilities for innovative film-making, taking us places we haven't been before, looking at people and objects in new ways, telling stories that need to be told. Unfortunately, this film does none of the above.In "My Little Eye," a sort of "Real World" meets "Blair Witch Project," a group of five young people agree to live together in an old house for five months while cameras film their every move for a Webcast. If they succeed, they split $1 million. If even one of them leaves, they get nothing.I'm glad I wasn't competing for the prize, because I wouldn't last 10 minutes with this self-absorbed group. The whining is unrelenting, the characters are wholly unlikeable, and let's just say there are no Mensa members present.The film offers plenty of gimmicky camera angles to make up for the lack of any real sense of tension or horror. The acting is poor, the dialogue is overwrought, and the twist ending is contrived. It appears that technology offers just about anyone with a computer and a Steadicam the opportunity to become a filmmaker, but sadly, it has also opened the door to mediocre films like this.
