Blind

I would rather watch lord of the ring 100 times all over again than this....what a waste of time...love creepy movies and this sort of stuff, but this is just out of order.

I had not heard about the 2019 movie "Blind" from writer Joe Knetter and director Marcel Walz before now late in 2020 when I sat down to watch it. I glanced over the synopsis and it seemed interesting enough, and the movie's cover also helped win me over.

So I sat down to watch it, and turns out that while the movie definitely was watchable, it just wasn't a fulfilling movie. I feel like director Marcel Walz squandered so much potential, and the movie ended up being somewhat as a less than mediocre experience. This wasn't an outstanding movie experience.

I will say that the movie was nicely enough acted out, and lead actress Sarah French definitely carried the movie quite well with her performance.

One thing that puzzled me was the text to voice modulator, how quick it was to spit out full sentences, even if Luke (played Tyler Gallant) wasn't really typing or pressing much, that just made no sense to me.

And then there was the thing with the slasher or the madman in the movie. That was just a very anti-climatic villain to have in the movie. There were so many other ways that writer Joe Knetter could have managed to put together a more devious and memorable bad guy.

Storywise, then "Blind" was pretty straight forward, but don't go expecting a rollercoaster of thrills and excitement, because then you will be sorely disappointed.

All in all, while the movie is watchable, it was not overly enjoyable or entertaining. My rating of "Blind" lands on a less than mediocre four out of ten stars. There are far better horror movies out there that is centered around a blind protagonist.

A blind actress staying in an isolated Hollywood Hills house is stalked by a psycho wearing a mask who kills anyone that gets close to her.

That sounds like a fun premise, doesn't it? Unfortunately, Blind might have what it takes in the technical department (the lighting, editing, sound, etc. Are all top notch), but it lacks a lot in the script department.

Even at under 90 minutes, Blind drags after the initial setup is out of the way and we're treated to scene after scene of our heroine walking around the house by herself as her stalker watches her from outside, eventually getting inside, and then doing the same thing. After 3 or 4 instances of this happening, it gets stale and we stop caring if her life is on the line or not.

I was looking forward to something in this movie that never ever came. Damn! Such a disappointment...don't waste your time!!

I just don't understand the part of when a glass was dropped on the floor and the dramatization of going back and forth to the piece that was left on the floor and then she finally stepping on it. It had no relevance to the movie as it didn't even show her injured after that or walking funny.
