Evil Eye has a great concept, and is full of suspense. Nothing is given away too quickly, and the way the story unfolds is riveting. However, it seems like the creative team couldn't decide if they wanted to make a psychological thriller or a supernatural horror film, which makes it feel at times like you're watching two different movies. That being said, it is still enjoyable. The film dissects the "overprotective mother" trope, and doesn't play into stereotypes. I found the dialogue to be pretty realistic as well. The performances really make the thematic inconsistencies less jarring and more watchable. Omar Maskati gives an incredible performance in a very difficult role, and Sarita Choudhury is absolutely phenomenal, giving a very nuanced performance. This film isn't perfect, but it's definitely worth watching.
