I went to see 'My Little Eye' tonight, which I'd seen very good reviews for. How did I like it? Well, it seemed to take a lot from me, but gave nothing back in return, and I left feeling quite dissatisfied. Here's a bit of a spoiler, for those that haven't seen it, look away now. The ending was not a happy one, that's okay, but there was no real thrill to make up for it. If you've ever seen the original version of 'The Vanishing', then that's a film which does the unhappy ending to perfection, and the visceral shock and horror you get makes up for losing the main character. Just know that it was nowhere near as good as that, it was more like Blair Witch Project meets The Breakfast Club. But we had fun dissecting it at the end, which is the main thing.
