But sadly, the lack of logic in the horror aspects, along with the frankly ridiculous last act drag the film down. There’s a good drama in here, which if focused on, would have made a not bad little film. As I said, there is little violence in the film but it’s well staged.īut sadly, this is another film where I feel it is the writing that has let the film down. Director Walz’s use of the house, where the whole film is effectively set, is impressive. The three leads, French, Williams and Gallant are all good. There are numerous scenes of the stalker watching Faye, sometimes getting close to her, yet nothing happens.Īt least until the final act…where, and I’m saddened to say this, where I was hoping for a tense ending, I almost laughed.

Sometimes not explaining the reason why things are happening can make it more frightening. Now, it’s true that not everything in the film needs to be explained. There was Mike Flanagan’s 2016 film Hush, where the woman is deaf, but I can’t recall another until Blind.īlind has a good premise, but the film’s problem, the one that it can never fully overcome is a lack of logic. What’s less frequent, is that the victim of the stalker has a disability of some kind. There have been a number of films of this type over the years. The idea of a celebrity being stalked by someone isn’t a new concept. An actress is struggling to coming to terms having been left blind after a surgery went wrong, unaware she is being watched by a stalker…
