Never Blink

This seems like it's gonna be a great movie for horror and sci-fi fans all around. I'm rating it a 7 as the trailer really caught my interest.

I know a few individuals who worked on this and they are raving. Not only because they worked on it but because they enjoyed doing it! Anything that's enjoyable usually is a great watch! I cannot wait for it to come out to all audiences around the world to see! B movies will always have a special place in my heart And this movie looks as if it'll really get the B movie train going again and the screams and creepiness is what WE WANT! Cannot wait to see it.

I Have awarded five stars, which to be honest is more than generous, and is mainly for the really original premiss. After reading the synopsis I was so excited to watch this. Unfortunately it was badly let down by some below average acting, very hammy dialogue and more plot holes than a gopher ridden garden. To be fair, this was clearly not a highly budgeted effort, and did well with what it had, but could have, and should have been so much better. But the idea of seeing what you can't see when you blink, and that is something awful, is intriguing. Casting played a big part in the failure of this, many of the actors did not fit their roles. The lead female was just way too young, and did not have the gravitas for the part. Would love to see a budgeted remake.

The story is not that bad. Editing, acting is below average. Looks like some college students did this movie as a project. Camera angles were not in the right place.

From the minute 21 to the minute 23 of the movie you could see the actors trying to act the movie not feel the movie script. To add some feel to acting I guess the director added some cussing words. From the minute 24 to 27 ish, the scene at stairs goes fast or the standing of actors is not well positioned that you could tell or see is bad.

This movie presented a very interesting and original idea, but the overall presentation was amateur.

All of the characters felt 'out of place',and none were believable in their roles.

The dialogue was forced and at times comical.

This movie would have benefited if it was presented as a half hour short film or as part of an anthology.

I only managed to get through 45 minutes of this movie before I gave up on it which is something that I rarely do.

I really wanted to enjoy this one but alas it was not for me.

Never Blink experiments with a fresh idea packaged in classic low budget horror. Look, this is not a slick blockbuster. But, it isn't trying to be. It's opening the doors to a new world; a world I really hope gets further explored in other works with bigger budgets.

Never Blink delivers some classic low budget horror tropes and gore but if you unwrap that, there's a really smart and novel premise at the core: tons of fuel for future scifi and horror content if a bigger budget gets clearance to play with the concept.

Sometimes it actually felt "too smart" conceptually for the layperson, in the vein of Primer, which is maybe a bit misaligned from the occasional corniness and campiness also in the film, common to B horror movies.

Still, it's super unique and creative, and if you watch with an open mind and not expecting to see the next Oscar winner, it's a fun time. I really hope to see this idea expanded. The universe it creates definitely has a mountain of marketing and transmedia content potential.
