 My Little Eye - (Special Edition, DVD)
 My Little Eye - (Special Edition, DVD) ... released 21 April, 2003 at Momentum Pictures / Features of the DVD: PAL / My Little Eye comes from the same school as Series 7: The Contenders and The Blair Witch Project, attempting to play on our fears by using the medium of film itself. The difference here is this film's willingness to use striking camera angles, editing and "night view" cameras that take the idea of Big Brother onto pay-per-view internet where no-one is around to hear you scream. Locked away in a deserted house, six "contestants" (or stereotypes) are adhering to curfews and confinement in a bid to win money: unlike Big Brother, though, the twist here is that no-one gets evicted, they all have to stay to win. To begin with the "company" looks after them, delivering food and warmth, however towards the end of their six-month stay weird things begin to happen. Rex, the most clued-up of the contestants, despite his alleged mental imbalance, surmises that the "company" are trying to scare them out of the prize money, but as time goes on and a mystery visitor mysteriously disappears it becomes clear that things are about to become very brutal in a bid to please their pay-per-view audience. Although the reality-film premise may be wearing a little thin by now, director Marc Evans still manages to pull a few surprises out of the bag, particularly at the macabre ending, which subverts all rules of the horror genre and will leave the audience trembling because maybe, just maybe, this could be happening. On the DVD: My Little Eye two-disc set is a genuinely innovative achievement. Disc 2 offers the standard DVD special features, including a 30-minute making of featurette, which is beautifully filmed. However, it's Disc 1 which has the real gem. Along with a well transferred film (16:9, Dolby 5.1 sound) and informative director's commentary, there is also the option to view the film in "Interactive Browser Mode". What this means is that once you've entered the hidden code you are able to watch as if you are a pay-per-view customer on the internet, with the ability to view audition tapes and archives (six deleted scenes of them in the first few months), eavesdrop into conversations, and choose different cameras for certain scenes. The result is a truly interactive experience that definitely increases the fear factor. --Nikki DisneyNewest Review: ... horror because most of the film is based on a number of mind games the contestants are put through. But their main problem is ... more ... deciding whether its a trick of the show or whether something more sinister is happening.
After this things start to fall into place and everything goes down hill pretty quickly with the root of the problem wanting to divide and conquer.
I wont give away the big reveal even though I would love to, the premise could have been very good if it was done much better. Personally I would have liked a bigger house, maybe with separate annexes so they could go missing without noticing at first and definitely more chara...more |

The advertisement on the Internet seemed innocuous enough. Five volunteers wanted to spend six months in an isolated house, having their every move watched online by millions of subscribers via a network of surveillance cameras. The rules were quite simple. If any of the group leaves the house, or tries to make contact with the outside world then the game’s up. If they manage to stay for the full six months they each win a million dollars. What could be simpler? The five successful applicants take up their challenge and find themselves isolated in a rather creepy old house, with very little in the way of entertainment. But entertain one another they do, and ... Read the complete review

It?s my own stupid fault. There are no reviewers so out of synch with Wampy's own feelings about things than those who work on the BBC website. If they love it, I hate it and vice versa, it never fails so, yes, it's my own stupid fault because I read a review of My Little Eye on there which was rather favourable and went to watch it expecting something at the very least 'watchable' and hated it. In my defence it looks as though the UK got the movie before anyone else(other countries probably had the sense to send it straight to video) so my favourite critical sources hadn't reviewed it which left me floundering for info. but still, I should have ...

~~~My Little Eye~~~ I watched this at the pictures with the girls because I am a huge fan of horror, released in 2002, My Little Eye is a British horror film. ~Synopsis: Five adults, one mansion in the countryside, isolation and hidden cameras filming their every move. That's the price of fame on the internet reality show where all five strangers must survive six months together for the chance to win one million pounds each. If one leaves, they all lose out, however as the end draws near the tricks begin, but it is paranoia or is someone really messing with them ... ~My opinion: I immediately liked ...

This is a review of just the film as seen on ITV last night, though I first watched this back in 2003 when it first got released on DVD. Basically the film is a homage to The Blair Witch Project school of filming with elements of Big Brother thrown in for good measure and a liberal amount of suspense and terror intended to play on our inner fears of voyeurism and being watched by person or persons unknown. The premise is thus ~ five strangers have agreed to take part in a reality Webcast that is to be aired all across the internet; the catch ~ they have to spend six months living together in a deserted house in the middle of nowhere, adhering to curfews and ...
