	Author	Review
United States	Chris Evangelista SlashFilm	"The direction is bland to the extreme – there are Lifetime Original Movies with more artistry"	NEG
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"The standout element of 'Evil Eye' (...) is a riveting star turn from veteran Sarita Choudhury (...) This is a taut thriller that remains engrossing"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico The Playlist	"It features a trio of strong performances (...) 'Evil Eye' feels denser and more heartfelt than any of the other three 'Blumhouse' films, even if it’s a little too thin overall"	POS
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"While 'Evil Eye' packs plenty of compelling cultural specificity inside its frames, it never attempts to dig any deeper into the wider world of that stuff that would scare anyone."	NEU
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"Choudhury is excellent here (...) And Maskati’s performance is a slippery mix of suave and menacing, which helps sell the farthest-fetched elements of this story."	POS
United Kingdom	Phil Hoad The Guardian	"The trickiness here is the source material: Madhuri Shekar’s audio play (...) It does not translate naturally to the screen (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"'Evil Eye' is mostly strong where it counts, beginning with the stakes of Pallavi and Usha's relationship (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	John Serba Decider	"[It] is ultimately too middle-of-the-road to recommend. The text is rote; same goes for the subtext."	NEG
