Eli

Eli (2019) is a Netflix horror film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Ciarán Foy and led by a strong performance from child actor Charlie Shotwell.

Eight-year-old Eli has a severe autoimmune condition that makes the outside world lethal to him. His parents bring him to Dr. Horn (Lily Taylor), a specialist who runs a fully sealed treatment facility and claims to have cured children like Eli before. The family has no other options, so they trust her. But within his first nights in the clinic Eli starts seeing figures through the fogged glass — children who shouldn't be there. He hears sounds the adults can't explain. The house, sealed tight to protect him, starts to feel less like a refuge and more like a trap. Sadie Sink plays a local girl outside the facility, the only contact Eli has with anything normal.

Director Foy builds the tension through confinement and a child's dawning suspicion rather than cheap shocks. Kelly Reilly and Max Martini play Eli's parents — parents who badly want to believe they made the right call. Stream Eli (2019) online on iFILM.
