Blind - Eu Estou Aqui

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.

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.

On a visual level, Blind is next to perfect. There are great production values (the Hollywood Hills house is beautiful), the filmmaking team seems to know their way around a camera, and it's filled with bright, eye-popping color.

Unfortunately, that's where the praise for this film will end. The script is a mess and the acting isn't much better although it's nice seeing Caroline Williams from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 again and she does ok with what she's given. There are too many unanswered questions that kept taking me out of the film. The story keeps crawling to a halt to give us scene after scene of this creepy guy in a mask (the mask is one of the other high points of the film) watching the lead character through her windows for what seems like an eternity.

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

A blind actress gets stalked by someone wearing a creepy mask in her secluded home far up in the hills of Hollywood.

Blind obviously takes a few cues from Wait Until Dark with its blind leading lady being menaced by a psycho and many of the stalk scenes featuring the masked killer peering into the heroine's full length glass doors call to mind Halloween. Despite a decent visual style and somewhat higher than usual production values, the story isn't very gripping and some of the acting is so bad it pulls you out of the film when it should be drawing you in. The killer is also such a blank mystery that you wonder what his problem is. Even Michael Myers had some past or history. The killer does have a striking mask at the very least.
