★★★
Set ten years after an apocalyptic event that killed millions and left the world inhabited by ghosts.
There are some films that leap out and surprise you. Some that you have very low expectations for and they turn out to be a pretty good watch. I Still See You is one of those movies.
​
Ten years after an apocalyptic event left the world haunted by ghosts, Roni receives a threatening message from beyond the grave. Joining forces with a mysterious classmate, Kirk, Roni descends into a shadow world that blurs the bounds of the living and the dead-and begins a desperate race against time to stop a cunning killer.
The premise of I Still See You is an intriguing one melding together genre's that I've never seen mashed together before: an apocalyptic, teen, ghost murder mystery. And, a part from some low budget effects, you get what you came for and the team behind I Still See You really do pull it off.
​
Sure its now going to be a bonafide classic, but its an entertaining watch brought to life by a solid cast led solidly by Bella Thorne. I had kind of heard of her before this, but she can not only act and hold her own in a film, but she can lead it too.
​
An entertaining twist on the young adults genre, I Still See You is an entertaining watch.
