Summary
That’s what I wanted to show.”Through this, the film continues the recent trend of movies using horror and thrillers as a device for social commentary.In just the last three years, successful commercial outings like “Get Out,” “Parasite,” and “The Invisible Man” take advantage of their genre to the fullest while underlying it with a story about timely issues, whether it’s racism, social inequality or abuse.Under its predictable outline, “Evil Eye” is an effort to do something similar.“It’s always great to use parts of our own heritage and mythologies in a way they haven’t before, as a metaphor to comment on how things like toxic masculinity and gaslighting work,” Elan Dassani said.Rajeev Dassani added that it’s the key to a gateway, to speak to something audiences might not even realize is hitting them.
