Reviews:

Average film with bluntly stolen “plot twists”. Try it if you find nothing better to watch.
Due to Netflix’s rather poor selection of Horror films, I’ve found myself lately trying many of its foreign Horror titles, namely a few Indonesian films. The 3rd Eye is in a good place in the middle, as it’s average and mediocre, nothing more and nothing less. It’s far from being a great film that would leave a lasting impression, but it’s just as far from being the terrible mess that certain reviews here have claimed it to be. Entertaining enough for a one time watch as long as you don’t expect to be swept off your feet.

The plot and pace are good enough, as is the acting. Unlike most reviews here I actually liked the CGI used to show the ghosts, which are actually quite terrifying. The jump scares are numerous and often, and while the very use and utilization of them qualifies as a cheap cheat in my book – they do serve their goal of scaring you straight. The most negative feature by far, in my opinion, is the terrible attempt at creating plot twists that are not merely unoriginal – but bluntly stolen from all too familiar Hollywood films. Such an attempt was unnecessary at best and damaging to the overall viewing experience at worse. I honestly don’t understand why the writers would create such a story, all of which is meant to try and make the plot twists more “twisty’. Too bad, as the film could have been more than average and even good had it not been for such amateurish writing (this is also what has made me rate it 4 instead of 5, as no plot twists or even bad original plot twists are better than stolen ones).

All in all? The film is enough. Scary enough, interesting enough and entertaining enough. I wouldn’t recommend watching it as I wouldn’t recommend avoiding it. I would, however, say that if you find nothing better on Netflix and want to enjoy a nice Horror film – The 3rd Eye could do the trick. As long as you initially lower your expectations and realize that you aren’t about to see anything remotely innovative or exciting.

Solid if slightly flawed Indonesian genre effort
Following the death of their parents, a teenager is forced to take care of her younger sister and move back into their childhood home together only to realize that the claims of it being haunted are true and must rely on the wisdom of a paranormal expert to put everything in place for them.

Overall, this one serves as quite an enjoyable supernatural effort. One of the film’s better qualities is the strong use of classic haunted house tropes for the supernatural scenes throughout the film. This one offers up numerous shock scenes with the ghosts walking behind someone suddenly with a piercing musical sting afterward, flash-cut sequences of ghastly inhuman figures interacting with characters only to disappear suddenly as well as a tendency to focus on intense and vicious attack scenes. Opening up with a vicious attack on the daughter where she’s visibly and graphically slashed up along her legs is a great start, much like the later exorcism scenes or the possessed seeking revenge on the guilty party amongst them. On top of this, the film’s strong atmospheric touches provide several chilling encounters. The first encounter in the house offers an eerie ambiance with it obviously not being lived in for a long time while the later scenes featuring them wandering through the darkened house during the thunderstorm provide strong atmospheric touches. The other impressive aspect here is the strong supernatural overtones implied through their physical gifts. Much is made about the fact that they’re only able to see the ghosts around them due to the supernatural gift the sister has in having her third eye open. The visit to the witch doctor who informs them about the gift and what it means serves as a fine turning point in the film with the ghostly incidents switching focus for more conventional and commercialized shock scenes. There’s so much to like here with the bloody, deformed ghosts appearing to her in the hospital which set up the scenes of the ghost family attacking in the house that night as we see them interacting with her in quite brutal manners. Since these scenes are based on the newfound experience she has with being able to see the spirits through the supernatural process of accepting the ability to see ghosts and spirits, the change in character and focus is quite impressive leading into these supernatural sequences. Exploring not just supernatural-inflicted ghost scares but also moving into outright possession and exorcism through the on-screen actions, none of this feels out-of-place or tacked on as the storyline manages to build a solid framework for these scenarios. Even a last-minute trip into the underworld complete with more ghosts and strange visuals that emerge. These here are what hold the film up overall. Still, the film does have a few issues. One of the problems is that this one focuses so heavily on cliched ghost scenes that so many of them miss their mark due to the overfamiliarity of the sequence. The attack by the ghost in the bedroom when it appears under a white sheet and charges forth fails miserably since we’re expecting it based on the circumstances since that’s always the case with that setup. The influences are also quite readily apparent in the finale where the two venture into the spirit world to retrieve a character lost inside and the colored lighting for the entire sequence comes off as a retread of other films and ideas. Other scenes are just as associated with familiar setups and scenarios, from the sudden ability to see the ghost girl in the hospital to the crazed reactions to things no one else knows about, have very little impact because it’s all quite familiar and repeated here by the story forcing them into action. That’s also hurt by the instances of utterly woeful and abysmal CGI present for these scenes as the ghosts crawling over trucks or objects with inhuman speed and ability look laughable rather than scary. These here are what hurt the film overall.
