Evil Eye wants to be a taut psychological thriller blending supernatural elements with real-world abuse trauma, but it fumbles the execution badly. With a 31% audience score and 4.8/10 on IMDb, this isn't just "not for everyone"—it's not really working for anyone.

The premise has potential: a mother's past trauma makes her convinced her daughter's new boyfriend is the reincarnation of an abusive ex. But instead of building genuine suspense, it leans into repetitive paranoia that feels more tedious than tense. The domestic abuse themes are serious and could be triggering, but the film doesn't handle them with enough nuance to justify the discomfort.

For families, this is a hard pass. It's too mature and psychologically heavy for pre-teens, and too poorly executed to recommend to older teens when there are dozens of better thrillers available. If you're looking for thoughtful exploration of trauma or genuinely scary supernatural horror, look elsewhere. This one's skippable.
