My Little Eye review (Major spoilers ahead you have been warned)

This is such an underrated film I mean not many people know about this film and I hadn’t until I stumbled across it on google, so I sat down and watched it.

Now I am a huge fan of found footage movies, I mean paranormal activity still scares the shit of me, I mean the whole found footage genre I love, now I have never heard of this film at all as I said in the intro it’s very underrated, so what’s this story about, well it’s about big brother 6 people agree to stay in a mansion for six months and at the end one of them receives a massive pay load of 1 million dollars but if one of them leaves then everyone loses, sounds simple ah but the six months are coming to an end and they start getting really weird packages with one of them containing some bricks and another with a loaded gun with 5 bullets in it.

So what happens you say, well all this commotion and one of the housemates starts wondering if it’s a stalker from her childhood (she starts seeing objects and messages on the window that remind her) well as all this is going on a strange man called Travis turns up completely out of the blue, and guess who Travis is played by (a very young Bradley Cooper) yep didn’t see that coming either, so Travis turns up and says that he does not recognise the housemates (they are all on a website on the Internet supposedly) which starts worrying the housemates.

 Well as the film goes on Travis starts talking to the cameras around the house and steals some underware from one of the girls rooms, the next morning Travis leaves and the woman whose underware has been stolen finds it in one of the guys rooms, she accuses him of stealing, which he declines she starts disbelieving him, as an apology he carves her a cat but she mocks it and he overhears everything, the next morning the guy has hung himself and has died (I did warn you there would be spoilers) as the film goes on everyone is paranoid until one night one of the guys finds out that they are not on the Internet, but instead on a blocked website that people would play up to fifty thousand dollars to view, as he tries to hack in to it cameras turn on in the room (it’s a room where cameras are not allowed) so the housemates start panicking, that night two of them talk about what they would do when they get out, suddenly this guy gives the woman a massage halfway through he says that he chose to come on here for the fear after that he looks into the camera and says “shall I kill her now” after that he strangles her with a plastic bag.

So turns out this guy is working for the company that is running the website so he kills the hacker and tries to kill the woman who had her underware stolen, as he tries to kill her a cop arrives and then bam he shoots the woman, later in a bar the cop and the guy working for the company are having a drink, and their keeping the girl the cop shot in a locked freezer, as the guy working for the company goes to take a look and the cop shoots him, and that’s it, it just ends there. 

Now I loved this film it was really tense but that ending was so horrendously God awfully bad, I mean it left so many plot holes in it and that ruined the whole film for me, I mean we don’t learn who this company is we hardly know this company we don’t know what they do I mean it was god awful, but the parts where they film in the house were fantastic, I mean they were filmed great and you felt the tension everytime the camera panned round, it was definatly a tense film, just the ending could of been a little bit better, but apart from that I thought it was a good film I would give it a 6/10 main,y because of the ending but the other parts were great, let me know if you have seen this movie did you think it was disappointing or did you enjoy it let me know I would love to hear your opinion on this, and until next time catch you later.
