In my search for the best horror movies on Netflix, I came upon this movie. “Eli” is a Netflix original horror movie where “The Boy in The Plastic Bubble” (1976) meets the video game “Lucius” (2012). Sorry to spoil it for those that played any of the three video games of that saga, because what’s taken for granted in that video game is a big second-half reveal in this movie.
Eli is a boy that acquired a rare disease. He must breathe sterilized air because if he doesn’t the disease flares up.
His parents take him, in a hazmat suit, to the house of a renowned physician for his treatment.
After a while there, Eli sees a few apparitions that try to tell him something
It might be I liked Charlie’s acting because I’m a fan of “The Other” (1972), and he made me remember that movie because he looks vaguely similar to the kid in that movie.
The part of the lead in this movie is a very dramatic character, and I think Charlie Shotwell did a terrific work. His actions, proper of a tortured soul resonate with me.
Sadie Sink looked way too different from the Max I know from Stranger Things, even if there weren’t obvious personal appearance changes.
