It's not exactly a horror as such, I would class Eli perhaps more in the psychological thriller genre, with some horror undertones. In the beginning it's full of suspense, and does offer up somemo e ts of horror, towards the end it changes up, and takes you to a place you won't be expecting to end up. It's somewhat unusual, but it's not without its merits.

Points for originality, effects and acting, on the debit side, the twist may be a bit too extreme for some, plus it was billed as a horror, and didn't really offer many scares.

Young Charlie Shotwell is the standout, and he's in some great company, mainly Kelly Reilly, although the young actor steals it.

Definitely better then some of the reviews would have you believe. 6/10
