My Little Eye (2002)
Missed opportunity
This film was billed as a completely new for the genre. Its not.
Initially it starts out as a fairly edgy psycological suspense movie - focusing on the characters current paranoia and past skeletons. Had it continued in this vein things may have shaped up into something genuinely scary.
However, about a third of the way through, the plot is pretty much revealed (or can be guessed at) and the movie descends into a poorly paced slasher formula - except this time in a Reality TV House (which is incidently the plot of the new Halloween movie - previewed before this one starts!!).
The web-cam perspective adds something - but at the same time borrows heavily from Blair Witch and the end scenes from Silence of the Lambs - both of which were done better.
4/10 missed opportunity.
