I spy with my little eye a very boring movie.

For a depressingly long time now the hottest ticket in television has been the reality TV show. Whether it is 'Big Brother', 'Survivor' or the latest 'Pop Star' themed karaoke contest, our desire to play the voyeur has developed into an obsession.
This trend is even more pronounced on the Internet with a seemingly endless amount of sites dedicated to broadcasting live 24 hours a day, seven days a week regardless of programme content. MY LITTLE EYE, from British director Marc Evans, employs this very modern phenomenon to breathe new life into the classic haunted house horror narrative.
The plot is simplicity itself, five youngsters agree to be confined in an old house, in the middle of nowhere, for six…

The first cut of this movie was allegedly 4 hours long, which you could not pay to me to watch. Even at 90 minutes this thing drags and drags, with almost all the action happening in the last act. It's comparable to something like The House of the Devil, but without the delicate control that Ti West showed there.
It also doesn't help that a lot of this movie's ideas have been done better many times, mostly by movies that came after it. It's not the worst way to spend 90 minutes, but it's fairly empty, and relies more on novelty than actually being interesting.
Also, Bradley Cooper before anyone knew who he was! That was nice.

Great idea that ultimately doesn't work. Over stylised to a point of irritation. At times it feels like it's descended too far into ridiculousness to ever recover but surprisingly it does. The satisfying climax only makes you wish that they'd tried harder in the middle of the film.

Terrible film. No suspense or atmosphere whatsoever, and not a single character you could care about at all. The storyline was barely there, and it was duller than dishwater.

It's not really that great, I probably wouldn't watch it again!

Interesting premise and some intriguing moments but ultimately it didn't scare or surprise me, 2 things it should've done.

The early century buzz of reality television and streaming media always meant that it wouldn't be long before a horror movie take on them came along. There's been a number of them now, even one entry in to the Halloween franchise, but My Little Eye was one of the first and it's an effective piece of work.
5 volunteers are selected to take part in a six month web cast where by one of them will win one million dollars provided none of them leave the house they're living in. Of course, it's not long before spooky things begin to happen and skeletons make their way out of their respective owners closets.
My Little Eye manages to scare with a…
