The first half seemed to have a slower pace compared to the second half. However, the story itself was fascinating and kept me guessing up until the last scene.

Overall, I would recommend "Eli" to those looking for a nice Netflix horror movie.… Expand

Despite this film's few inconsistencies, the powerful performances (particularly by the young man who portrayed Eli), easily voided some of the flaws.
