    Spoiler: Show
    I briefly toyed with the idea of watching it because, tits but then sense kicked in when I remembered that it was directed by Eli Roth.

    Dodged a bullet there.

    I saw this one last night.
    I'm a fan of Eli Roth, but I have to say, this movie is pretty much a pile of steaming crap.

    When I first saw the trailer, I thought it looked like it might be semi-interesting, coming from the same guy that was responsible for Hostel & Cabin Fever (I'm somewhat of a horror fan) but this movie isn't close to being in the same class. Poorly executed all around, in my opinion, and even though the story line isn't anything new, I think it could have been a decent movie with a different director & maybe a different male lead. I can't say the 2 female antagonists where much better though...They were so annoying I was hoping they'd get killed off about 20 minutes into the movie.

    Ive never kidded myself into believing that Keanu Reeves is any kind of great actor, but most of his movies are at least entertaining. I'd place his performance in this a few steps below any bad performance that Nick Cage has ever done....And that's saying something. The scene where he's tied to the chair & the girls are "torturing" him by playing loud music through headphones is pathetically bad, bordering on excruciatingly painful. (To the viewer, not Reeves) It doesn't help that through most of the movie, he sounds like he's reading all his lines off cue cards either.

    I read several reviews of it on IMDB, and a few people on there were saying that the many people that didn't like it just "didn't get it", and that it was supposed to be sort of a "Dark Comedy & intentionally amusing" in places. I don't believe this myself... Not that it's not amusing in places, because it is. But I don't think it's intentional. And if it is, I don't think I found it amusing in the way that the director intended. It was amusing in a "I can't believe it's this bad" kind of way...

    FaceBook was actually invented by Sandra Locke.

    (So she could have a different ending to the same shitty film.
    )

    It's a "guilty pleasure" type thing. I sometimes like cheesy B-type movies, and he's a cheesy B-type actor/director...


    Oh, & no, I'm not positive

    Also, goddammit I didn't see that someone already mentioned this film. I didn't think enough people still posted here to bother reading through the previous comments. How observant of me...

    This movie, Blind, found a strange, concerted frequency in me. I initially started to watch it as if I'm about to embark on a horror adventure; going blind is about one of the scariest things I can imagine. However, the imagination of the main character would play out in a manner where the borders of daydreaming and reality aren't always distinct. I have never seen that depicted in a movie in quite this manner because this was so eerily similar to how my own mind plays out scenarios. I hate the dream sequence trope found in other movies/shows because... well... that fucking soft lens and cheesy music shit. This felt much more accurate. I really have no critique about the movie. This one aspect just left an impression on me, and it was one where there was no expectation to arrive at some conclusion.

    Just, hmmm
