What would you do for ONE MILLION DOLLARS? Would you stay in an old abandoned farmhouse in the dead of winter for six months? Five Young people do...
Three guys and two girls (Danny, Matt, Rex, Charley and Emma) all live together moderately well for the first five plus months and this is where the movie begins. They are the participants in a webcam reality show and in order to win the one million dollars, they ALL have to stay. And if just one leaves, then NOONE gets the money. Just before the last few days together, strange things start to happen. Every detail is caught on tape, hence the name-MY LITTLE EYE.
Emma shares a story with Rex about a young boy that she befriended who killed his parents with a hammer. She always felt that she had brought out the psychosis in him and felt somewhat responsible. She then awakens to a bloody hammer in her bed and is terrified. Rex consoles her as well as the rest of the group-THEY are doing this on purpose to make one of them quit and lose the money. Danny becomes depressed and hangs himself and they all agree to put the body outside the door in the snow and continue on. For all they know, THEY killed Danny just to scare them into leaving.
Just then, a mysterious traveler appears. Travis is a computer programmer (hmmm) and has never heard of this show on the internet...After a night of sex with Charley, Travis looks right into the camera and says that he ’’knew he could have her...’’ and leaves the farmhouse. There is one more night together.
The five finally learn that they are the product of a closed-circuit webcam that is members only and not at all what they believed this to be. They are the product of entertainment, a snuff movie. The movie takes on more twists, including some of the participants’ murders. You begin to wonder what you would do for one million dollars until the end. Or perhaps how long would you last?
This is more of a scary B movie and the same genre as the movie SAW with similar camera and lighting. At least I understood this one.
