This is definitely one of the best of the four movies Robby and I watched over the last couple days (Excision > Mischief Night > Killer Holiday > Scream Park in case you're wondering). It was surprisingly viscious, even though after the opening it took a long while to get to the kills. The knifing and the chainsaw bits were especially brutal and bloody and I loved those parts to death, haha. I definitely got some You're Next/The Strangers/The Purge/Eyes Of A Stranger vibes from many scenes here, but it did NOT feel like a ripoff of any of those films at all. It was cool having a very strong, capable (but still vulnerable, which was also realistic) lead who was a seventeen year old blind girl. She was by far my favorite of the film, had a lot to work with, and worked with it well! I'll have to keep an eye on Noell Coet since she was excellent here! There were plenty of familiar faces here too, from Erica Leerhsen, to Charlie O'Connell, to Daniel Hugh Kelley, Ally Walker and Richard Riehle. The killcount wasn't very high but it was definitely high for a home invasion stalker flick with such a small cast. The ending was a tad predictable but I never expected a shocking ending from this so it was no big deal to me. It also had a great, polished look to it that wasn't exactly gritty but it was also far from being glossy. For the most part, I loved this! 7/10 quality, 8/10 entertainment. |

Just as good the second time around though the kills didn't really get much of a reaction from me even though only one or two were still fresh in my mind. |

This was a surprisingly enjoyable and entertaining home-invasion effort that does manage to get a few things right. One of these is the rather ingenious use of the leads' blindness which is put to great effect here in several chilling moments. The fact that this allows for a break-in earlier than expected to play off the scenes of her being unable to see the guy standing in the house or following her up stairs that any rational person would be quite easily noticed during this time so that adds a rather dark, chilling tone to the proceedings. That also helps out in the later half when the intrusion is discovered as there's plenty of suspense to be wrought from whether or not she's capable of handling the threat and must fight them off in several rather creepy encounters. The growing sense of unease it builds up before the reveal makes for a wholly enjoyable tale as this one really manages to work in some fine slasher style theatrics as it goes around bumping off the few locals around her to make it worthwhile which manages to highlight the first of a few problems here. The low body-count certainly doesn't allow for a lot of actual slicing and dicing, forcing this one to spend a lot of time not really doing anything. It gets old after a while seeing her just wander around the house as the intruder stands blankly behind her not doing anything, and this makes for quite a troubling start to this one. As well, once it gets going there's no shortage of scenes meant simply to prolong the inevitable here as the scenes of everyone going around looking for trouble manages to put them into it and carry the film along when it really doesn't have to and common sense would tell a different story than how to proceed as opposed to how this one goes about it. Lastly, the concept for this whole film is based on such retarded and ridiculous reasoning that there's hardly anything about it that comes off logically and just holds up the film for being quite lame. Otherwise, this one here isn't really all that bad. |

Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup? Some people are like slinkies: not good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs. My review blog: http://donshorrormovieblog.blogspot.com/ | |

I kind of agree about the 'wandering around the house' stuff (a few scenes went on too long and only a couple were really suspenseful and unnerving for me, especially when I rewatched it), though it didn't really BOTHER me. They kept things interesting enough for me. Plus, the runtime was pretty short. If she had spent an HOUR of the film alone in the house, it really would've become repetitive and boring. This handled that aspect better than a lot of other films imo. Plus, it's always nice when a movie reminds me of Eyes Of A Stranger<3. Edited by Baby Firefly, Dec 10 2014, 09:09 PM.

I'll say this about it: this one certainly handles a lone woman rummaging through the house a lot better than House of the Devil did, which was completely boring about how uninteresting it was to watch. |
