evil eye

evil eye

Nala's sister is ill and doesn’t respond to any healing method. While the parents continue to search for help, they leave their daughters in the care of their estranged grandmother Josefa. The grumpy woman scares Nala already upon arrival at the secluded mansion and the girl's worst premonitions quickly seem to come true: shadows lurk in every corner, the night brings bad dreams and some green brew simmers on the stove. When a corpse ends up swimming in the rotten pool, it’s already too late to escape.

 

Folk horror par excellence: In Isaac Ezban's gothic horror tale, the set design already anticipates the morbid atmosphere of impending doom. Despite its young actresses, EVIL EYE is by no means child-friendly viewing, rather it thrives on menacing gloom and disgusting practical effects which hit home harder in our age of soulless CGI blood. Grim and haunting cinema from Mexico, of the kind that Hollywood hasn't managed to pull off for a while.
