I See You

6/1/2020

I have been reading more and more about this film on the internet as more and more people watch it. While I didn’t take much notice of the reviews at first, the more I see its name mentioned, the more I became curious about it. When the film started, I thought it is going to be one of those mystery films which an unknown entity starts troubling people and you get to find who or what it is towards the end of the film. Well, this film is also like this but with a big, unexpected twist halfway through. And for that, the film gets a positive rating from me. A well-deserved 7/10. Would I watch it again? Probably not. Would I make my friends watch it? Sure.

Click here for a video version of this review: https://youtu.be/YhEhAndmxxM I don't know if it was the bad acting, its inability to settle on a genre, or Helen Hunt's facelift, but _I See You_ is a mixed bag of a movie. Never heard of this one? Consider yourself lucky. Regardless, here is the official description: _When a 12-year-old boy goes missing, lead investigator Greg Harper struggles to balance the pressure of the investigation and troubles with his wife, Jackie. Facing a recent affair, great strain is put on the family that slowly gnaws away at Jackie's grip on reality. But after a malicious presence manifests itself in their home and puts their son, Connor, in mortal danger, the cold, hard truth about evil in the Harper household is finally uncovered._ This is one of thos

I See You is a gripping tale that brings together a family of three, the law enforcement, and some strange beings that first gives you a feeling of horror but then later takes a virulent turn to shock and impress you as you stay invested in the plot till the very end, only supported by the arresting background score. Best watched in a home theatre. Also, I learned about a new concept here.

**_Strange goings-on and dark secrets in a lush hamlet of the Buckeye State_** As boys go missing in a northeast Ohio town, the detective on the case (Jon Tenney) struggles with his marriage while their son (Judah Lewis) blames his mother (Helen Hunt). Meanwhile unexplainable things mount up. What’s going on? “I See You” (2019) is a mystery/drama with horror/thriller bits. The first 38 minutes are rather mundane, but they’re merely a set-up for the final hour in which several hidden things are revealed. I don’t want to say more because the surprising revelations are part of the fun of a movie like this. Helen was 55 when during. Critics complained that she was too old for the role, but she wasn’t. Her son in the story is about 17, which means that Jacke (Helen) would’ve give

53/100 The disappearance of a boy triggers a series of strange and bizarre events. The pros first: it's an interesting story with some clever twists and I can certainly appreciate the film's ability to continually fool the viewer into a specific narrative only to pull the rug out from under them. In that respect, I can understand the ratings. But, as for me... I never connected with the characters and the film felt flat in its delivery. I never really felt any tension or concern about what was happening, I didn't find it engaging and the ending didn't deliver the expected punch. --DrNostromo.com
