For people who specifically prize meticulous story-craft and the ability to dodge broad genre clichés, I See You is a rare gift.
Taut, smart and satisfying, I See You is the sleeper of the month, and should put Graye on the radar as a screenwriter to watch. And it should remind Hollywood that if smart cookie Helen Hunt sees something in it, this is a project worth filming.

Wow. This is one seriously effed up movie, but so scary good. Everything was awesome... cast, music, sound effects, multiple back stories and crazy plot twists. You'll never see it coming.

An unexpected experience. Exciting because of a well-constructed story with surprising plot twists from different perspectives. This movie was a pleasant surprise!

The film’s tone is extremely eerie, with creeping camera movements, striking imagery, abrupt edits, and a delicately sinister score.
It’s rare to see a horror film so devoted to intricate plot mechanics and so concerned with driving to a satisfying payoff.
An eerie suspense exercise that starts out looking like a supernatural tale — one of several viewer presumptions this cleverly engineered narrative eventually pulls the rug out from under.
As loud and in-your-face as these developments are presented, they're amount to a shabby collection of Blumhouse-lite scenes that would be a parody if it weren’t so dull.
Helen Hunt is a good actress with an Oscar on her mantle and practically no ability to choose a decent movie script based on quality or entertainment value. She’s been absent from the screen far too long, so it’s a pleasure to welcome her back, but not in a labored, amateurish charade as bad as I See You.
If they left out all of the poorly written dialogue and the mediocre acting and just cut out the entire first half of this movie, it would have been a lot better. Once it started to move a little faster and there was less talking it started to actually get pretty good, but it was very predictable.

The suspense was interesting, that's a plus point, but the story is an incoherent mishmash that uses a lot of plot twists to keep you interested and that pretty much weakens everything because it doesn't have a strong foundation to keep things grounded, and in my case, well I lost interest.

This was boring. I actually think it is one of the worst paced films I have ever seen. The Doxey Boggart (2017) is the only other one I can think of that is more boring than this. The film is not badly made, it’s just badly written and directed. I started watching this normally but after about 10 minutes I had to speed it up to 1.25x and then after another 10 minutes it ended up on 1.5x and I only occasionally slowed it down so I could follow what is going on but I quickly put it back to 1.5x as it was so arduously boring. It’s a shame because the core story is good and everyone working on it is trying. It should have been made into a 15 minute short and then it would have actually been quite good. The writer and director are treating the audience like idiots, they got what was going on within about a minute and then spend an entire 30 minute act explaining again what we already knew. Very frustrating and a boring waste of effort. Also some of the character decisions don't make any sense and it's not because I was watching at fast speed, it was bad writing and decision making.

WTF?
Oh and the lead actress looks like she was moulded out of plastic.
