Watch The Eve For Free

Pretty Good

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

THE EVE is an example of your typical indie horror flick, made without anything in the way of imagination or indeed talent. The story is about the usual party of dull, self-centred characters deciding to holiday at a haunted location and running afoul of whatever lives there. There's very little horror content here, making the whole thing a real turn-off.

This movie is worth watching because the script keeps you engaged and the acting is very strong. The music and the setting make it spooky and suspenseful without being overly dramatic like many poorly made horror/thriller films.I've been to Martha's Vineyard and they really captured the island's sinister sense of loneliness. Throw in a killer with no where to run and you get a very exciting thriller.You really get the sense that you are on the eve of something bad. The director does a great job of building the suspense without making it feel corny or fake. A lot of thought went into each shot. The music enhances the watching experience.Well done!

First of all, let me start by saying that this movie is shot quiet beautifully! Very nice job on the cinematography. But there's more to it than that. And I want to point out that I disagree with anyone who is saying this is a standard Hollywood type setup. It is not the standard set up. Most Hollywood type films have a group of teenage kids, with no character development, just randomly go off somewhere isolated to drink, party and just be annoying. Then they methodically get picked of one by one. In this movie what the filmmakers focus on are a group of adults. Not kids. And they have purpose and reasoning behind what they are doing. The setup for this movie is nicely done. The filmmakers are not in a rush to get to the dramatic twist and that should be applauded. I'm curious to see what else these filmmakers do in the future.

...it was just terrible. Not a horror movie. No chills. No thrills. No suspense.My wife and I are horror fans and have spent time on the Vineyard in the winter so we were really excited about an indie horror movie shot in that setting. Unfortunately, the 2 stars I give the movie are for the setting only, the movie itself was a miss on every level. Poor acting, poor script (dialogue forced, unnatural), poor execution.The characters couldn't die fast enough for me. The only one character I enjoyed at all goes first. And in an unexplained way, bringing about a near comical response by his 'friends', who determine quickly that he has expired- without any visible signs of trauma- and left where he lay with a rising tide approaching.Too many contrived scenes with ridiculous dialogue delivered poorly to mention, but when you find yourself begging for a lame jump scare you know it's a bad movie. It was sealed when the girls ask Harrison why he was gone so long when he went to sneak into the neighbor's house in the dark to use their phone and he responds: "It was harder to get there than I thought it would be. I couldn't see and I had to deal with the bushes and thorns." Wow.As for the reviews invoking "throwback" type of horror, don't buy it. It is just so fundamentally weak in all respects that it can only be deemed an homage to other equally poor movies. Great to see the sleepy island in winter but other than that, a huge disappointment.
