Eli, which first landed on Netflix back in 2019, tells the creepy story of a gravely ill 11-year-old boy who is believed to have an autoimmune condition after he becomes allergic to everything and is forced to live in a plastic tent.

In a final attempt to cure Eli, whose condition sees him confined to a hazmat suit, his parents take him for treatment at a secluded isolation facility.

At the unsettling mansion, Dr Isabella Horn promises to make the young boy better and begins a series of painful procedures.

While Eli is initially excited about finally being able to remove his “bubble suit” his time in the facility takes a sinister turn when the young boy begins witnessing a series of creepy paranormal activity.

He believes the mansion is haunted and starts to suspect Dr Horn has dark intentions but only his new friend Hayley, played by Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink, believes him.

The spooky horror’s dark storyline has left viewers praising its fear factor.

Taking to Twitter to give their verdicts on the movie, horror fans hailed it as “intense” and “mad crazy”.

One viewer wrote: “If you’ve never seen the movie Eli on Netflix, go watch it. That movie was mad crazy… idk if I’m gonna be able to sleep anytime soon.”

Another agreed, adding: “This movie “Eli” on Netflix is actually creepy asffff I’m definitely gonna have nightmares.”

A third said: “Tried to watch Eli on Netflix now my scary ass can’t sleep.”

In another review, one viewer said: “I watched that Eli movie from Netflix, I think it’s okay since it quite scared the sht out of me, I screamed 3-4 times I think and the plot is good.”

Another wrote: “If you are looking for a scare, try Eli on Netflix – nearly wet myself I jumped so much!”

The movie contains plenty of the traditional jump scares loved by adrenaline-chasing horror junkies.

At the end, it’s finally revealed what’s behind Eli’s mystery illness and a shocking turn of events in the final moments was dubbed “the biggest plot twist ever” by thrilled viewers.
