A promising premise sets a solid stage for terror.

"Eli" has a strong payoff too with a memorably intense final 15 minutes. But that roaring finish feels like it should come much earlier in the picture. The story ends just when it's finally going somewhere.

We have no real idea what's going on through most of Eli, which results in a film that is more often confusing than frightening.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 18, 2019

The film is scattered with a number of familiar horror sequences, from a couple of nasty dreams to some extended jump scares, but none of them really land.
