See for Me

Have seen worse.. The lead wasn't likable,believable or where you felt any sympathy for someone blind.

Frankly she was an entitled scammer with attitude,over her circumstances of disability.

It was a very simplistic storyline,which is nothing new or special.

The movie has a short running time that can be a plus or minus,depending on how they want you invested into the characters & so forth.

Although the(See for Me)app concept was interesting,not like that's Innovative technology to make the story greater.

The actors to acting was average,cinematography was ok.. Bottom line the lead needs to stick with voice work,she just isn't a believable actress.

This movie had numerous clichés,plotholes & stereotypes of what a blind person can/cannot do.

Nothing worth a rewatch but if bored & nothing else is on,than it's a time killing popcorn flick.

If you're watching it for Kim Coates.. It's mostly his voice on a phone during some parts,than a little of him as the movie is nearing its running end.

A very good premise ridiculed to oblivion,it's not a bad movie just corny & irritatingly unrealistic ,way over the top,a different direction could've saved it.

"Hush"! I heard a better version is on Netflix. And "Don't Breathe" on...any other platform.

There. I gave you my recommendation. See "Don't Breathe" or "Hush" instead of "See for Me." But, if you feel the need for a triple feature some night, fine, you can include this. But, only because I can't think of another movie this is hyper-similar to.

Our incredibly unlikeable hero of the story is blind and somehow always manages to get around an unfamiliar house where she's cat-sitting and not be seen, for the most part, by three robber intruders. Even more unbelievable, she's holding her phone with the flashlight on while she's talking with a "See for Me" video chat service that helps blind people see in unfamiliar locations. And the robbers still can't track down this victim.

The person on the other end of the "See for Me" service is the only likable character and totally reminded me of Brooke Langton way back on Melrose Place. Not to mention, the lead totally reminded me of a much younger Sarah Polley. But, that's neither here nor there.

This plot is absurd and unrealistic at best, and littered with way too many plot holes at worst. And that lead character we're supposed to root for is so bad and unpleasant, you really only root for Not-Brooke Langton and she's thousands of miles away.

This is on Shudder and I love Shudder. But this REALLY feels like a D-grade Netflix thriller.

Final Thoughts: Yeah, I have to go here: Like the blind lead, don't see this movie.

If you've watched hush or panic room you will know what i mean in the title, although this movie isnt as good as those two its actually not that bad.

For me there could have been a bit more tension build up, but still it was enough to keep me interested throughout, the only minus for me is that the main character sophie gets annoying at times when people are trying there best to help her, you'll know what i mean if you watch it.

Ok all in all this is one of those movies you'll only watch once and most likely forget about, but with no regret of watching it.

6/10 from me.

Modernized rehash of better films , even so , It would be o' k ,if only the main character wasn't so annoying and unpleasant. All gimmick about blind or deaf people in life or death situations based on the incredible and scary vulnerability , when you try to put yourself in their shoes . Here , the heroine is so stubborn , dumb and rude that you feel just kind of disgust , hence this film doesn't' work...
