Plot

Eli has a rare disease that made him allergic to everything outdoors. Due to this, he is not allowed to go outside and play like other kids. He is also enclosed inside his room to avoid contaminants that could affect his condition.

His parents decided to take him to a medical facility with a house-like setting. This is believed to be the best facility to cure medical conditions like what Eli has. It is managed by a doctor and two nurses.

In their first day, Eli already experienced something different like seeing someone in the dark and even saw someone respond to his writings in the window glass. He also met someone from outside the facility that made him consider her as a friend.

The few days of medications made him feel different and strange apparitions of someone within the facility even got worse. This made him explore the previous patients’ records and discovered something horrible that made him want to escape from the horrors of that facility.

Eli Movie Review

This movie has a nice concept which is actually used already in other horror movies but with a unique feel.

Many scenes are really scary especially the ghost appearances in his room and in the corridors.

It has a surprising ending that I did not expect which actually put justice with what’s really happening to the patients in that facility.

This is a recommended movie to watch and it’s really exciting and interesting.
