In just a week Netflix released two films with the same premise of: Nothing is what it seems. Although with different narrative approaches, I speak of Fractured and now Eli.

The problem is that both have ridiculous plot twist and both are unable to create suspense.

Eli is more inclined towards horror but my God the atmosphere is so damn passive that after about 40 minutes you will be begging for something more interesting to happen. And it doesn't.

Everything is too messy and scattered and the final minutes are very similar to many other exorcism films and the ending above all feels empty and devoid of a real crucial or stronger moment.

Calling it disappointing is me being nice.
