Load of rubbish!!

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Five young people apply to live in an isolated house together for six months whilst their every move is filmed by numerous cameras. Each has their reason for wanting to be there -- fame, money, adventure.Even since "Blair Witch", we have had this stream of films with found footage, hidden cameras, and that awful night vision. I am not a fan of it, but I guess others are because it still persists today (2013) with endless "Paranormal Activity" sequels. Some of this film has it and some is just shot normally. Had there been more hidden camera than there was, I would rate it even lower.My reason for watching this was seeing Bradley Cooper in the cast list. His role is relatively minor -- he is not one of the five young people. If you are a big fan of his, check this out... but otherwise, no need. He is not even on screen enough to say if he did a good job or not and the rest of the film is average at best.

"My Little Eye" first premiered around a decade ago. The internet had already become as common in average households as a refrigerator, reality shows had already broken into the public's notion, and the web- cam technology had already allowed to spice up chats with live moving image.This movie attempted to capitalize on all of these concepts in order to create an average-budget horror film, and in my opinion - has done a very good job.The movie started with the sweet nostalgic sound effect of a 56k modem connecting to the web, and the characters presenting themselves as they tried to explain why they would be good candidates for an online 24-7 reality show, much like Big Brother. Very nice artistic touch by screenwriter David Hilton.As the movie went on, we noticed some very interesting shooting angles and effects (including interesting 4-in-1s which resembled an online conference call, and night-vision shots) along with some original sound effects (sort of static noises like the ones coming from an ISDN cable instead of your usual heavy bass when something bad happens suddenly). Personally, I also loved the music used during the infamous sex scene (F*** the Pain Away by Peaches).The plot was original enough, but not brilliant... same goes for the "twist" and the ending. All in all the story wasn't more than OK, and the level of "horror" wasn't high enough to actually scare me, unfortunately. I did however like the characters very much, and would've loved to watch the original four hour version. Also, not much blood and gore, which is always a plus on my book!I recommend to every Horror fan who'd like to see some artistically surprising effects, and to anyone who's a fan of reality shows. This is not, however, a sufficiently frightening movie.

I just watched this film one day ago and I found this film has a very interesting storyline, about 5 people who accepted a challenge to live together in a small house in the isolated wood. But, soon they found something's wrong with the competition.The film use a semi-mockumentary style camera and make it more scary to be watched. The scoring and lights effects also very great.But the film has some weakness. First, the acting of the actor and actress were okay but not very good. I couldn't see a well scared expressions from them.And I also hate the ending. It's the worst part of the movie. I think why should the villain kept one of his victim alive in a small room instead of killed her?

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
