    Meh.

    A slow burner with a twist at the end that makes the whole thing very unrealistic. I get what they were trying to say. It's like she said, perception is everything but if you really think about it, it just doesn't make sense. It's watchable but I can't recommend it.

    Above average movie

    It was ok... It gets points for keeping me hooked to the entire time... in some ways it can be a bit predictable - albeit in some ways also original .. Even so, its worth watching, some good performances. This is not a horror movie, if I should say... its a thriller.

    somewhat predictable, but still a good watch

    The good thing was , it didn't bore me and I was hooked from beginning to end. There are one or two twists, but if you have seen many psychological thrillers , you would guess it. Acting was really good and the atmosphere was different.

    Far surpassed my expectations.

    Maybe it's because I've seen a lot of terrible movies recently, but I thought this one was really good!

    A super effective slow burn, and a really unique plot that unfolds perfectly. Madeline Petsch did a phenomenal job playing Ellen, with a really believable performance as a blind woman. The use of close up shots throughout the film was really well done and there were moments when the score paired incredibly with the cinematography.

    The last ten or so minutes are a little underwhelming, but it doesn't take away from the movie as a whole. A super suspenseful and effective Psychological Thriller, and an excellent directorial debut from Cooper Karl.

    Not bad

    This movie wasn't great but not quite deserving of the 4 it has...There were a few plot holes that were not addressed by the end, like the whereabouts of certain people yet some aspects of the film are original. It's somewhat predictable but I still found myself surprised at certain parts. I give it a 5.5.

    • Goofs
      It does not seem plausible that a person can hold in her mouth a toxic substance that causes blindness without that person getting internal damage or very sick.

      Ellen: Why are you lying to me?

      Lana: Don't trust anyone!
