_Eli_ director Ciarán Foy is also the man behind 2012's _Citadel_, which I found to be drastically underappreciated. For that reason, I went into _Eli_ completely blind, expected to enjoy it of off of Foy's involvement alone. Ended up being pretty disappointed. The effects they use for the titular Eli's skin rashes appearing and disappearing are **great**, I was genuinely impressed, truly. But the quote-unquote "mysteries" of the movie ("Hm, this doesn't seem quite right, what's really going on here?") start very early on in the piece, and are drawn out for sooooo long, then only about half of those mysteries are answered in one single reveal, and even those ones are resolved in a way I was not at all satisfied by. _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._

I won't get the movie plot away but I will say this ... this movie is extremely interesting from start to finish. The cast is brilliant, the story was intriguing oh, and the ending maybe even smile and laugh a little but that might be just because I have a morbid sense of humor. It's definitely worth a watch.

Eli (2019) presents an intriguing concept with a surprising twist that keeps viewers engaged despite some narrative flaws. The story centers on a boy with an autoimmune disorder brought to a mysterious treatment facility, creating a suspenseful and eerie atmosphere. The conflict escalates as Eli grows uneasy with the strange treatments and tense family dynamics, leading to a layered climax, though some scenes intended to build tension feel awkward or unnecessary. The twist’s execution lacks full impact, weakening the emotional resonance. Technically, the film is well-crafted with effective cinematography, sound, and color that support the mood, while performances remain solid but unremarkable. Key story elements like Dr. Horn’s background and Eli’s origins are underdeveloped, leaving questions about motivations and emotional depth. Despite its shortcomings, Eli offers a watchable horror experience with a compelling premise and suspenseful moments.
