Eli (2019) has an interesting idea and a twist that manages to hold your attention, even though it isn't perfect. It’s about a boy with an illness who is taken to a peculiar place for treatment, which establishes a feeling of suspense and unease. The story becomes more intense as Eli gets worried about the unusual procedures and the difficult relationships within his family, culminating in a complex ending. However, some parts that were meant to create tension don’t quite work and feel out of place. The impact of the twist isn't entirely there, which lessens its emotional effect. The film is made well, with good visuals, sound design, and color choices that enhance the overall feeling, and the acting is decent but not particularly memorable. Important aspects of the plot, like Dr. Horn’s history and where Eli came from, aren't explored enough, so you are left wondering about their reasons and how they feel. Even with its problems, Eli provides a horror film experience that’s worth seeing, thanks to a promising start and some suspenseful parts.
