Taking the concept of reality TV series Big Brother and giving it a horrific twist is My Little Eye in a nutshell (see what I did there?).
It might not be a great film by any means but it certainly is a refreshing take on the tired "found footage" and "scary house in the forest" story.
The editing and camera angles are sometimes incredibly effective and other times just plain annoying. The sound design is pushed into the forefront to great effect as I jumped a few times from a simple flicking of a light switch. The score is an interesting soundscape of familiar Internet sounds distorted into something tense and very unsettling.
My Little Eye sets out to keep you guessing and put on the edge of your set and it succeeds.
