Welcome to the Blumhouse: Evil Eye

Toxic behavior is eternal, and Evil Eye sincerely depicts both those who do not recognize it, and those who are all too familiar with it.

Evil Eye deserves acknowledgment for taking a supernatural approach that involves cultures beyond Western trappings, but that's about the only positive thing I can say here.

Elan and Rajeev Dassani's Evil Eye has no set pieces, jokes, or surprises.

Even then, it's too late, and while "Evil Eye" packs plenty of compelling cultural specificity inside its frames, it never attempts to dig any deeper into the wider world of that stuff that would scare anyone.

[T]his is a taut thriller that remains engrossing, deftly blending elements of romance, cultural division and supernatural menace into a family drama with a poignant mother-daughter focus.

With scant visual bite, perhaps it should've been called Evil Ear.
