Sinopsis(1)
Eli is the story of a young boy (Charlie Shotwell) plagued with an unknown, debilitating illness that requires him to live completely sealed off from the outside world. After exhausting every option, his parents (Kelly Reilly and Max Martini) put their trust – and his life – in the hands of a doctor (Lili Taylor) whose experimental, cutting edge treatments at her clean house facility may hold Eli’s last hope. As Eli undergoes the tremendously intense process that could potentially cure him, he begins to be haunted by experiences that make him question who he can trust and what is lurking inside the house.

Eli es una de esas películas de terror que empieza como prometedora y acaba como un mal chiste. Es decir, no es que su remate no sea genial, pero muchas conexiones y detalles en el comportamiento de los personajes se sacuden hasta los cimientos, como si en la película faltaran veinte minutos importantes. Sin mencionar los errores elementales de guion como el peinado intacto del tipo al que le habían afeitado parte del cabello el día anterior para poder perforar su cráneo. La parte fantasmal más larga de la película es bastante escalofriante, pero la hemos visto cien veces y al menos los personajes no hablaron a través del vidrio aislante entre el interior y el exterior de una casa completamente sellada. Una película tras una lobotomía mayor de la que sufrió su protagonista tras su segunda cirugía.

Quite inventive for a “ghost-type” of horror movie, which was a pleasant surprise. I’m not giving these four stars for no reason; I was very surprised and enjoyed myself a lot.

After Sinister 2 and Citadel, Ciarán Foy serves up his most interesting work. After Brightburn and Prodigy, we have another children's horror film that works thanks to a novel idea. The protagonist is allergic to the world and undergoes experimental treatment in a remote house that is not as safe as it first appears. The director builds the atmosphere nicely and serves up a fair amount of scares and imaginative jump-scares that work better than in this year's Annabelle 3 or La Llorona. However, what lifts the film to above average is the solid finale, which comes with a surprising twist. For fans of ghost stories, a clear recommendation. 70%
