Plot

Bringing to reality this script written by David Chirchirillo, Ian Goldberg and Richard Naing, Ciaran Foy, director of one of the chapters of the Netflix series 'The Curse of Hill House', has returned to terror with 'Eli'.

This movie of 2019, after separating the rights of distribution to Paramount, finally premiered on the Netflix streaming platform in mid-October 2019 in different countries of the world, including Spain.

Eli, played by the young actor Charlie Shotwell, is a child who suffers from an autoimmune disease that causes him to have to live away from all physical contact with other people, including his family. His parents, played by Kelly Reilly and Max Martini, try to help him as much as possible and even move to a germ-free mansion so he receives the right treatment.

Once there, a treatment will begin on the hand of Dr. Horn, played by Lili Taylor. This method will only lead you to feel worse and have horrible nightmares that will be confused with reality, at that time you will start to doubt if you were in more danger outside or within those four walls.

When it seems that in this dilemma Eli is alone, he will be accompanied by Haley, played by Sadie Sink, with whom he will share his greatest fears and his darkest dreams.

Trivia

It is not any name

There is a reason that the screenwriter has chosen that the child be called Eli. "El" means God or spirit in Aramaic and the suffix "I" means mine, my god.

Macabre Omen

The doors to the medical wing show a pattern of upside down crosses alluding to a sign of the devil. At the end of the movie, Eli turns Dr. Horn and the nurses into human upside down crosses.

Inspiration in terror

Dr. Horn's former patients are named after characters in horror films: Perry Hobbes after Detective Hobbes in Fallen (1998), Agnes Thorne after Damien Thorn in La profecía (1976) and Lucius Woodhouse after Rosemary Woodhouse in La semilla del diablo (1968).
