When this movie finished I wasn't sure if I enjoyed it, or didn't. I will say you should take the time to watch it. I'd love to get into some detail as to why, the issue is I have no reason for my recommendation. Much like this movie seems to be without reason. I think my favourite part was wondering the whole time just what and why, anything and everything was happening, then cut to a full ashtray. This movie is one I won't forget anytime soon, now again I am not sure if that's for good or bad. I think I will go and pick up the book, not because I loved the movie, because I like to read. Now keep in mind I did watch this film sober, and upon completion believe that is not the way it should be done. So in closing don't expect the expected.

I give it a six out of ten (sober).

This is a tale of a blind veteran who has his home invaded by some villainous crooks. I felt every moment of the man's plight to defend his home and interests from the evil robbers who invade his private lifestyle in an attempt to rob him of what is rightfully his. Being disabled makes it that much more of a challenge for him, but don't fret he is a veteran and has some tricks up his sleeve. It is a tense film and you never know if he will survive the vicious crime or the harrowing night. Each of the criminals that force their way into his abode are equally fiendish, with nothing more than greed in their hearts, forcing him to jump into action and defend his house and belongings. A tense film.

I give it a six out of ten.

Well I just finished this one. It was pretty much your standard Monster fluff. It was predictable and wanted to create an emotional connection to the characters that just didn't sink in for me. On a good note the monster thing itself was pretty decent as far effects go, I mean it felt regurgitated, but what can you do? The setting was cool, and the camera work was in place to set up some suspense. So if you really have a thing for creature features, and your willing to ignore a few of the same ol' same ol' situations, you'll be fine. If you want substance and originality, maybe just re-watch Alien.

I give it a three out of ten, but I don't hate myself for watching it either.
