This would probably be quite good if it didn't pretend to be a horror and focused on the mother/daughter dynamic

Anyone else find it interesting that every one of these Amazon-Blumhouse movies starts or ends with a shot of a newborn baby

A mother fights against the "Evil Eye",
As her daughter meets an "evil" guy.
An interesting premise,
Stay away from your ex,
Even with the help of a private eye spy.

Amazon is trying to prank us by saying this is a horror movie. This is a family drama. It’s boring, predictable, and definitely not scary, unnerving, or thrilling. The actors did the best they could with the script they were given. Watch Nocturne instead.

The film tends to lack tension most of the time as it really just leans into the mother being crazy and overprotective. Then it reveals what it's really up to, but the twist is kind of dumb so it doesn't make you feel any better about what's been going on. It's not really a horror movie either. It's a drama with a twist that doesn't belong in a drama so they called it a horror film. There are worse ways to spend 90 minutes, but this doesn't offer up many reasons to spend your time here. I give this movie a "meh".

I love a mom and daughter story in which they rekindle a bond. The reincarnation of an abuser was a weird plotline but overall added to the fun. Definitely the most fun of the Blumhouse Amazon dump.

I watched this via Blumhouse's virtual premiere doohickey so I had the cast/crew in the chatbox next to film as it played. There was also an interactive virtual DJ, a live tarot reader and a mystery to team up and work out. Nicley done Blumhouse.

I thought it was really interesting; an exploration of a mythology I hadn't previously seen on film with great performances to match.

I would have liked a little more to it, possibly more insight into this entity's motives and an answer to the question "Why them?"

It took such a long time before anything interesting start happening in this non horror movie. The pacing of the story is extremely slow and the mother/daughter relationship gets old, boring and annoying after 45 minutes of nothing happening except for some random flash backs from the mother. The last ten minutes are somewhat entertaining at best but not worth 80 minutes of boredom. Not worth watching.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Day 21 of my movies to watch in October list boxd.it/8MlJg 🎃
This was a pretty average movie. It’s very predictable with no real shocks or twists. It didn’t really feel “horrifying” until near the end. It was nice to see some Indian representation though.

good

Really liked this. Not overly complicated, just a straightforward horror/thriller. Sunita Mani was great here and I hope to see here in more lead roles.

as coisas que eu assisto com minha mãe pls

Yo pensaba que al ser india le daría un toque diferente pero es una película muy justita.

A lot of this felt weirdly wooden and I can't really tell why. Otherwise it's pretty standard but I did like the way it worked in the trope of the mother trying to marry off a daughter.

i come from a latinx family and when your mom or tia tells you about the evil eye, you listen and you put on the bracelet indicated. shit is serious, fam. listen to your madres!

B-/75 (Satisfactory/Decent) 3.5 Stars

I really like the idea of an evil consciousness being literally reborn. Reminds me of when I was 12 and was trying to do the maths to see if I could potentially be a reincarnated Kurt Cobain - no dice.

78/100.

What the fuck?!? Another shitty movie! I'm on a shitty movie roll here...WW84 put a curse on me, hexxing me to never enjoy anything ever again! The suspense was shit, the oh wow I didn't see that connection coming script was shit, it was allllll rubbish! Superstition can be haunting but they did not dig deep at all, they slapped a label of Beyond Meat & failured miserably at flavor.

I liked this one
