Eli (2019)

A boy who has to live in complete isolation is taken by his family to a new location, where a revolutionary procedure could cure him for good, but he begins to have doubts about the reality around him.

A seemingly traditional horror film, which changes its style about halfway. It has a few plot holes and a somewhat flawed execution but the very successful transition of style and genre at the end improves the overall quality and the satisfactory effect on the viewer by a great deal. The horror elements are effective and well done, the mystery is palpable and the ending unexpected. That is a considerable amount of brownie points for the fans of the horror genre.

Director:  Ciarán Foy    
With: Charlie Shotwell, Kelly Reilly, Max Martini, Lili Taylor

Rating: 8/10
