| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoThe end of Eli subverts the majority of Eli, making it kind of like a cheap game. It’s not as damaging as the ridiculous final scene of “Fractured,” but I was left with a similar bad taste in my mouth. |
| User ReviewDeanomiteNicely filmed, pacing is steady and performances are serviceable. Lilli Taylor always carries her weight. i found the scares very effective, not generic jump scares, very well done blending of light and shadow and characters. I like the dad doing tough love, too often characters could be more real if they attempted a balancing act like real people. It was like a good pulpy horror book from the 1970s. |
| User ReviewGrachechkovskiThis film is very original work that has a rich and deep story and a mix of other horror films. When I watched it I see a good mix of atmosphere of next films: The Others (2001), A Cure for Wellness (2017), Carrie (2013). Also, if you know this film or like as other work - you could think about many ends of story, but the true final of picture is beautiful, impressive and mind-blowing. |
| User ReviewIamcritical86Despite this film's few inconsistencies, the powerful performances (particularly by the young man who portrayed Eli), easily voided some of the flaws. Although Eli did lack in originality, SOMEHOW it managed to keep me interested throughout. I've always rather enjoyed Lili Taylor's work. Nothing earth shattering, but I liked it. |
| User Reviewflash246This one surprised me but "Eli" is definitely one of the stronger Netflix horror movies. The first half seemed to have a slower pace compared to the second half. However, the story itself was fascinating and kept me guessing up until the last scene. Acting was overall solid minus a few moments with the kid actor. Music and atmosphere were also solid. Some of the jump scares were predictable if you've seen enough horror movies, but the interesting story makes up for that. Overall, I would recommend "Eli" to those looking for a nice Netflix horror movie. |

| User ReviewLORDtroldemort1The first three quarters of the film are really entertaining, which is why its a bit of a shame that it stumbles towards the end. |

| User ReviewqbaseΑπό το The Boy in the Plastic Bubble μέχρι το Bubble Boy και τις αμέτρητες αναφορές στις διάφορες ιατρικές σειρές, μια ιστορία ενός ανθρώπου, συνήθως παιδικής ή νεαρής ηλικίας με ανοσοανεπάρκεια που αναγκάζεται να ζει σε ένα πλήρως αποστειρωμένο περιβάλλον, δεν μας είναι πρωτόγνωρη. Ωστόσο στη νέα ταινία Eli που θα δούμε σύντομα στο Netflix οι δημιουργοί σκέφτηκαν να μπλέξουν στο στόρι και τον τρόμο. |
| User Reviewpizzaguymovie production is great and so is the acting, very predictable jump scares, they still do a job, movie has more of a comedic sense to it, the first half of the movie was clear, the second half was all over the place and the ending is just horrible and unrealistic, overall its an okay movie but they shouldve put more effort into the plot, the ending in specific. |
