Child's Eye (2010)
I found this movie to be relatively entertaining but not fantastic. This movie revolves around a really dark hotel. This movie is rather unique as it has the elements of comedy, horror and fantasy. The idea used in this movie about this dog-human hybridisation was very original and interesting. This idea was not used in other horror movies before. The dark and tense atmosphere used in this movie was great. There were a few jumpy scenes. This movie has its mystery elements and has a rather decent storyline. The acting in this movie was quite good, although the acting of the creepy girl in the movie was very poor. The fantasy land used in this movie was quite interesting and original. I love the scary scene where one of the main characters vomited white gory stuff, followed by blood, and then his tongue. He seemed to be possessed. I thought this scene was done very well and was really scary. However, there are also flaws in this movie as well. This movie does not build terror and fear very effectively. It gets less and less scary towards the end of the movie. The ending for this movie requires a whole lot of explanation as it was just so confusing.The movie was too fast paced to be scary. There were many scary scenes in this movie. Some of the scenes were very memorable. I would prefer this movie to build tension and fear around the beginning of the movie with some scary scenes, and let it get scarier and scarier towards the end of the movie.This movie did not manage to build terror and fear towards the end of the movie. This movie should have its scariest scenes towards the end ofthe movie and not end the movie with some very touching stuff. This movie tries to be touching towards the end but did not manage to do so. This movie does not have any suspenseful moments. Hence, this movie did not manage to be as well made as ringu, Ju-on or One Missed Call. Overall, I found this to be an average movie with some entertaining scenes.

A film which entices utter melancholy through its emptiness...Its a truly rare gem. A film which transcends to the seldom realm of nothingness yet still capturing a fragment of familiarity in all of us, like a deja vu perhaps. Its airy, almost transparent in ambiance, which leaks the substantial reality and the dream-like state into a big mesh. The funny thing is, you give up trying to decipher the enigmatic mess after halfway and learn to just sit back and enjoy a beautiful piece of composition even with a baffled mind. It allows you to feel what you see then structure it, and thats the raw beauty of art-house cinema on an overall aspect. Its a film that you can't really put a critical mark upon it, because its a composition of emptiness; devoid from meaning, space, time and substance; yet it does this flawlessly. There's a beautifully warped nature about it; something almost ethereally claustrophobic and alienated in its stunning visual embodiment. Tranquil water, an empty ship,a quiet learning centre, the film execute its material with a stunning use of tone to stimulate an emotion, a memory a mood.
Aesthetics wise, its a commendable effort for a debutorial film. It took a lot of effort to pass the first 5 minutes without turning it off, yet after that i had no doubt it was the blue print of a great exemplar. Its not in any sense a perfect film, but it flawlessly struck every chord of the tune. If this is the director's first envisage i am waiting with great anticipation to see what he brings to follow such a rare masterpiece.
