Credit is due to director Adam Randall and and scriptwriter Devon Graye for going that extra mile to make I See You appear to be something it isn't. And arguably this is another of those films that is really best seen if you know absolutely nothing about it. But it's also one of those films unable to produce a twist without making ridiculous demands of both the narrative and the viewer's common sense.
I mean "phrogging". Seriously, people living in your house (One of the owners is a detective. Hello security!) and you're not aware of them being there? And let's remember here, we're not talking about Wayne Manor. It's also one of those movies, where pretty much none of the main characters are drawn very sympathetically, so I for one, didn't really care much about what happened to them. Bring on the body count!
It's also strongly inferred that Alex, the male phrogger is a survivor from earlier kidnap attempts when he was younger. He knows who the perp is, so why does he not do a shout out earlier? Again, it just seems contrived in an effort to throw in a final little twist and a clever last line in the movie. I also agree with many others in this forum who rapidly got sick of the intrusively loud and frequently simply inappropriate soundtrack.
If you are into cross - generic films (This one even goes found footage midway for a spell.) and wholesale twists, you'll probably get some sort of buzz. But I'm already thinking I was too generous in giving a film with too many cheap tricks and unlikely scenarios 6/10.
